Avoid London Tomorrow if you can..

Grant Davis, of the london cab drivers club, said the protest wasn't against Uber, but TFL. Against a back drop of horns and chants of "Boris, Boris, Boris,'out out out," he said:

"TFL are failing to impose their own rules and regulations. They are a regulating authority without any authority. The big boys from the States have rolled into town and TFL have just rolled over."

He said cab drivers were not afraid of completion but demanding a level playing field. "We are not dinosaurs, we are not scared of competition, but if you drive a taxi in london you should have to abide by the rules."

Black cab drivers argue that Uber, a San Francisco start-up, drivers use their phones as meters, while according to current laws only licensed taxis are able to use meters and take pick ups from the street.
