Presumably Ubers fake taxis are FUD too?

It's certainly not something I've come across. If the app says that
there's an available car nearby, then I get picked up quickly.

And lets not forget about their "surge" pricing, when black cabs and most
minicabs have a fixed rate.

So? You know in advance if you'll be affected. If you don't like it, you
can pick another mode of transport. With a black cab though, you won't
find out until you're stuck in a traffic jam.

Uber is nothing more than another bunch of silicon valley slimeballs who move
in unregulated

As far as I know they have always been regulated in London, and have
always operated as a minicab company.
