I do think that, in London at least, the mini cab firms have a reasonable cause for complaint. TFL has (in it's attempts to make the industry safer) required that the drivers go through all sorts of legal checks (such as CRB), get passenger liability insurace and jump through various other "hoops" in order to get a licence.
With Uber, they have seemingly reduced a lot of those requirements, or not enforced them at all.
