No Taxi's for Lisburn!

I live in the city of Lisburn in Northern Ireland, City 51,447 Metro 84,090 [2021 census] there are two taxi firms serving this area. One is based in Belfast eight miles north, branch in Lisburn, [subservient to it], the other a one man cab. People NEED taxi's over Christmas for shopping, hospitals, to visit relatives, general transport to the most out of way places, as the demand heightens in Lisburn and Belfast, less available for Lisburn, things will get worse. Hospital appointments and A&E will get stretched to an already overworked Northern Ireland NHS. The sick and elderly stuck at home, not exactly a festive season. I am disabled, terminally since July 2021, I rely on taxi's to in essence survive, to get food, and medication, there are many in a similar situation. A former main taxi firm has just gone bust. Various transport strikes with trains and buses are always threatened, with local NHS as well for good measure. All due to the political party run by the fella who looks like a small version of a famous Irish singer, they cannot be bothered to join other political parties [the other's ALL quite willing] in the running of this Province of Northern Ireland, 22 months of this stupidity is literally 'killing' people, as the running of this Province has been grinding slowly further and further down into chaos as the oil for the executive runs out! People are dying slowly and painfully since this charade started. Ironic as this "politician" represents his party for Lisburn. I have seen this today as the festive season grows in strength, I hope members of this party DUP have a clear conscience, the people of Lisburn will have their patience sorely tested, maybe their leader can be a Santa's elf in one of the Belfast stores this year!
