Uber drivers sue London's mayorPrivate hire drivers commence legal action against London Mayor Sadiq Khan over congestion charge. Khan encouraged black cab drivers to invest in £60k electric cabs, then none of the promised infrastructure was put into place. There were supposed to be six charging point install companies - there is only one and 65 points for whole of London. Most drive on petrol as a result. Wasn’t they only ever exempt when booked. I see thousands with no passengers. Discriminatory because 94% of the drivers are black. Are they kidding ? What the hell is going on with this Country ? Everyone has completely lost the plot. I'm actually speechless. Why play the race card every time ?
