What *actually* needs to happen at this meeting is that Greenland and Denmark needs to tell Rubio to back the fuck off.
Meeting between Rubio and foreign ministers of Greenland and Denmark (Motzfeldt and Rasmussen) set for Wednesday.
This will be an important meeting.The US will need to make explicit what they envision, because everything when it comes to security is already possible.

yep, I worked on Breakfast in 1986 and I had cabs when I was travelling to/from work outside normal office hours

yes, I've been ferried between home and studios of Sky, Channel 4, ITV and Al Jazeera as well as the BBC many, many times.
I was a media spokesperson for years - Sky news, Ch 4 and ITV also sent cabs. It's a way of making sure your guest is there on time especially if you're on at an ungodly hour in the morning.
If you:
1. Need to get guests to studios, and back home after, or
2. Need to get staff safely into work or back home after the tube has stopped running
You need to use taxis or private hire. If you do that via contract, itโs cheaper than paying full price each time.

also, I know for a fact that Taxpayers Alliance spokespeople have had cabs to and from the BBC, as I used to do the paper reviews with one of them.

good grief this is a pathetic bleat from the Sun. How else do you get people who work shifts to and from work? And if you want a guest in the studio, you sort cabs for them.

I see the fearsome no-bullshit no-snowflake chads running America are frightened about marauding "gangs of wine mums".
Don't tell them about the book club triads or the knitting circle mafia, they'll wet themselves.
