while the carlyle group sat doing nothing, uber began their attack on london. they watched the taxi trade protest and force a high court hearing but added nothing. they've seen taxi drivers attempt crowdfunding over TFL's removal of road space and still they did nothing.
i think Pastor Niemöller says it best:
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me
