Also the ‘everyone is out to get me’ act is childish and a bit pathetic!
Infamy! infamy! they’ve all got it infamy! 
Barrie Tozer:
a protest in London planned;
Thank you I had forgotten about that particular failure will add it to the list.
Successes:
Failures:
Truckers Moan,- campaigning organisation- failed rebranded as TruckersWorld
TruckersWorld - campaigning organisation - Failed withdrew from campaigning- now a barren website with next to no usage
PDU-UK (£25 subs) - failed not enough people believed in it
Drivers National Conference - Failed never took place
Driver Protest March - Failed never happened
NOK cards- failed another group provided them for free
Theft text alert - failed no organisation would back it the DFT has serious reservations about LGV drivers receiving texts when driving
Truckers Club - failed- Barry claims it is a success, if so why isn’t it still running, fact is it never covered its costs
and my favourite the £100 DCPC- failed due to his figures simply not adding up and it being totally impossible to achieve

Well hasn’t this been Fun! I barely know who big Barrie T-Bags is but one things for sure, his aims are good but he’s really not the man to further them. He makes more enemies than supporters. To pull off what he wants to do you need someone who is charismatic and charming but hard nosed when needs be. He has one of the three! I’m undecided why he wants to do it. Part of me thinks it’s because he genuinely wants to make things better for drivers buts part of me thinks it’s because he just wants to feel important and hob nob with people at the top.
You’re popular amongst drivers and on here. You also have a fairly signifanct online presence why don’t you have a crack at it!
after about the1st page it was nothing to do with questions it was all about the pack of hounds coming out for the kill, all wanting to get their teeth in and get a bit of blood to assassinate any good within what was being talked about. Barrie’s Lament
This is not true, After he sidestepped ignored and refused to answer questions the suspicion set in. His stock answers to everything showed he had made no preparation for this thread at all. He couldn’t organise himself to do that so what makes him think he could organise something much bigger and much more serious where he wants people to trust him. Trust has to be earned like respect and by his evasiveness and top secret information he lost all that and he feels sorry for himself blaming everyone else but the main culprit is his ego… He did it to himself nobody tried to assassinate him he signed his own death warrant by his atrocious behaviour towards those who dares to speak. I said it before the old jewiah proverb “if 6 people tell you are sick Lie down”

I’d be lying if I said the thought hadn’t crossed my mind.

I’d follow you Luke, things have gone a bit crazy in the world of transport and a UK Truckers Club, Drivers Voice Society, Truckers Suicide Squad, etc would be a good idea.
How much to join ?
Oh and to save time could you let us know about any dodgy shenanigans in the past.

Have you spent a fiver to get in the gate then?
You might want to draw up a list of your achievements to quell the hounds. Winning the egg and spoon at kiddie school might not cut it 
Haha thanks for support! I will seriously give it some thought. My initial thoughts are making it along lines of crowdsourced and free. I.e issues to tackle are decided democratically amongst the membership. Think how big the membership could be if it was free. Barrie is right it needs numbers but he’s gone about it the wrong way by charging. My Facebook page has nearly 10,00 likes, 10,000 YouTube Subscribers (getting 35-40,000 views a month despite not having made a trip video for nearly a year), nearly 5,000 twitter followers all from me just rambling on at a camera! All those numbers would plummet if I even tried to charge 50p a person! Im not being boastful when I talk numbers as it amazes me they are so high, I bring them up because 1. It shows a good base to start from and 2. It amazes me I’ve never had anything to do with Barrie. If I do this I’d contact anyone with an audience to try and bring them on board. This will only work by cooperation with as many as possible, not by creating a closed shop type group. We’ll see, I’ll think about it.
And it would be called THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY TRUCKERS and WOULD NOT BE A UNION…it would be a ‘togethering’.
Has he closed down TW? I just logged in and said wrong user name so couldn’t access it.
Can’t beat a good " togethering " with your fellow " extraordinary truckers " eh? 
Regards John.

I asked him to remove me so I haven’t even tried as he emailed me to say he would
I asked him to totally remove my then user name years ago, but, guess what, it is still there

Apologies Rikki
Barrie, I have asked you 3 questions, are you going to answer ANY of them? They are all PDU related.
[quote=“war1974”
personally I know no driver on £7.50 an hour so you have done really well to find lots on this wage.
Every Montgomery Transport driver is on a pittance £7.25hr for 1st 55hrs and Surefreight drivers are on similar for 1st 40hrs.
ALL Mulgrew Haulage drivers are on £8hr for 1st 10hrs per shift.
Unfortunately they are MANY drivers working in NI who earn below £7.50hr especially any in construction/quarry work!!![emoji26]
