@blech More feasible, yeah… 3.5 million daily is 87 per driver which seems unlikely.
@blech Do you have a citation? The Guardian called it 3.5m “daily users” in their editorial which sounds more than a little wrong…
@andybudd Yeah if we start boycotting everywhere that’s not perfect we’ll all be knitting our own muesli.
@andybudd The (or a) problem is London & UK govts doing so little about such precarious work for so long… now any problems have bigger consequences.
@andybudd Like everything it’s more complicated than can be fitted into a tweet. So we could say nothing at all or demonstrate our broad feelings.
@andybudd …so many people have had to get into debt and rely for work on a company that doesn’t actually employ them.
@andybudd Don’t be daft. Of course I care about people losing their only means of support. It’s a shame this didn’t happen sooner, it’s a shame…
@andybudd But Uber doesn’t have any workers! :)
@andybudd Sure - Uber can abide by the regulations and they can carry on.
Now 530,000 people who care more for their own convenience than the reasonable regulation of private companies. Ugh. twitter.com/petepaphides/s…
It seems a little dispiriting that 400,000 have signed the petition for TFL to renege on their decision not to renew Uber's license. (1/13)

One of the main reasons why we are in the pickle we’re in. twitter.com/MkHeck/status/…
