Brexiteer Julian Sturdy MP for York Outer.
I didn't know anything about the protest, but as I sat in stationary traffic at Cromwell & Queensgate, wondering what the holdup was, the phone rung.... it was my friend Paul from 'Black Cab Now', asking "are you on the demo?"
"well I am now", I replied.
I stayed with the protest for about an hour until we were all told to go back to work.

As it finished, I picked up Julian Sturdy Mp and took him to Vauxhall.
We had a chat about recent events and the Tories support of an illegal plying for hire app.
But I must say I found him very naive.
He talked about intelligent technology doing away with manual jobs of which I asked,
"if the jobs are going to go...then what future have my grandchildren got?".
I told him there's no way I wanted to revisit the 1800's because this will finally kick everything off....and, don't expect the police to maintain law and order.
I have told my daughter who is in the police force, that by the time this is happening, you are no longer police.....you go home and protect your own family.
His face dropped dramatically and he offered no further convocation.
TAXI LEAKS EXTRA BIT :
Julian Sturdy wants ministers to prioritise easy migration after Brexit, but supports intelligent technology which will remove jobs???
You couldn't make it up!
How do these people get elected?
