So here’s how the racket really works. We were told this week that one taxi company alone is pocketing £350,000 every single month, shuttling migrants six thousand times to doctors, dentists, the Home Office and accommodation. People think migrants are calling cabs themselves, paying like you and me. They’re not. The money flows like this: taxpayers pay the Home Office, the Home Office pays the giants – Serco, Mears, Clearsprings – and those giants farm the work out to private contractors. And right there is where the feeding frenzy begins.
Clearsprings: Owned and controlled by Graham Ian King, a man who’s climbed into the rich list on the back of asylum housing, pocketing more than £180 million profit in just three years, with dividends pushing him towards billionaire status. MPs have already demanded answers about offshore consultancy fees pouring out to a UAE shell he’s linked to, money flowing round in circles. His group holds billion-pound contracts covering Wales and the South, and it is Clearsprings Ready Homes that decides who gets the lucrative transport subcontracting.
This particular saga has been ousted by PTS-247 Ltd. Registered at a Crawley office, its directors are Ashok Puri and Manju Puri, both appointed in 2019. These are Indian Punjabi names, and the firm’s filings list “taxi operations” as the core business. This is the outfit raking in that £350,000 a month for six thousand journeys – which works out at nearly £60 a trip, regardless of whether it’s a five-minute hop to a GP surgery or a longer haul. That’s far above a standard taxi fare, let alone what pooled buses or NHS patient transport could do. Yet nobody checks, nobody questions, and nobody reins it in.
And it isn’t just them. These contracts are written so one firm in each region gets the golden ticket.
Councils aren’t involved. The invoices aren’t compared to normal metered fares. They’re billed as “special transport” at inflated rates and waved through. And because the contracts are multi-layered – Home Office → Serco/Mears/Clearsprings → PTS-247 or whichever local firm – the paper trail blurs just enough to hide who is really creaming off the profit.
Taxis are the new Turkish barbers.
It is an extortion racket run in daylight. The men at the top – King at Clearsprings, the Puris at PTS-247 – are making fortunes from public money while the system beneath us collapses.
Follow the money. Pull the company filings. Trace the names.
Same old British piss take.

Email calling Epstein a 'supreme friend' adds new fuel to royal scandal
A newly surfaced email revealed that Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, described Epstein, the disgraced financier, as a “supreme friend” despite his conviction for sex offenses.The email was published in two newspapers Sunday. It was sent by the duchess — the former wife of Prince Andrew, the Duke of York — in 2011, just weeks after she had publicly distanced herself from Epstein.

Sarah Ferguson's worst gaffes
- Leaving baby Beatrice behind when she went to Australia
- That toe-sucking incident
- Cash for access scandal: In a sting by the now-defunct News of the World, Ferguson was filmed offering Mazher Mahmood, an undercover reporter posing as a businessman (aka the “Fake Sheikh”), access to Prince Andrew for a fee of £500,000. In the video, she could be seen taking away a briefcase containing £40,000 in cash. “That opens up everything you would ever wish for,” she's heard saying on the tape. “I can open any door you want, and I will for you. Look after me and he'll look after you... you'll get it back tenfold.”
