  Capitalism, the driving force of ultimate profit at the cost of exploitation and uncompensated labour of working class people. Making thousands of people worse off than people living in third world countries. With the help of our beloved government.
  
  What has this society become when a father has to work 7 days a week only to show nothing for it at the end. He can see his kids and wife only whilst asleep or short glimpses of them if he happens to pass by his own house.
  
  It is true that if u put a frog in a pan of water and turn the heating up gradually they will boil to death without noticing and this it seems is what Ad lee has done to its drivers. Government is complicit in enabling them to do just that.
  
  As another reviewer points out they don’t just bribe crafty managers of their clients. It goes much deeper than that. They bribe Government institutions.
  
  The A lee donations to the Conservatives have been paid back 100 fold. U only have to go in front of the Houses of Parliament at 11pm by statue of George V, abingdon st every week night. All the staff (kitchen staff and other departments) that work in HOP are taken home by addison lee cabs. Many of them live outside London so taxpayers pay a fortune. Money is being wasted when trains are still running.
  
  I’m talking millions of pounds a year and its been going for a long time. So whilst nurses go to the food banks and police numbers are cut Houses of Parliament staff are driven home every night in Addison Lee cabs and you ( yes you!) the taxpayers are paying for it.
  
  The bookings are made under CABFIND HOP ACCOUNT.
  
  They have other government departments in as well. NHS (under NHS/ambulance and ERS medical acc) if you tummy aches they will send an Ad Lee to drive u to hospital (at the taxpayers expense of course) no problem. Local council accounts. Students taking rides for £1, they’re perplexed!
  
  I would like to also highlight changes that have happened since the American Carlyle Group took over Ad Lee.
  
  Old Addison Lee Carlyle run Addison Lee
  
  Drivers earnings for 70 hours/week £800. Drivers earnings for 90 hours/week £350

  Cash commission £1.00 (any amount). Cash commission 20% +vat
  Car rental average per 70h worked £50 Car rental average per 70h worked £140
  Christmas party held every year for drivers No Christmas party for drivers
  
  I could go on but you get the idea. This goes beyond greed. Desperate trying to perk up the books but nobody will buy Add Lee of them.
  
  PS. Mr Andy Boland, im not sure if you’re aware but whilst you are robbing drivers blind day in day out to the point of absolute poverty you are forcing them to leave and you will cost Carlyle millions of pounds. Well done.
  
  PPS. Dear drivers,
  
  To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair
  The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed. The bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die and the power they took from the people will return to the people and so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
  
  Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men
  Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!
  You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
  
  If all of u were to put yourselves on a break 7am-8am and 10pm-11pm every day your livelihoods would improve very quickly. U have the power. Use it! Your exploitation WILL END.
  
  Hope in the meantime this and MR A B review will be picked up by a journalist.
