Swansea card payments proposal.
Consultation 1 – Proposal to introduce mandatory card payments facilities in Hackney Carriage (taxi) and private hire vehicles
Swansea Council is consulting members of the taxi and private hire trade in Swansea in relation to two matters, this first email relates to the proposal to add conditions to taxi and private hire vehicle licences to require card payment facilities to be available for customers to use. A second email will follow in relation to the second consultation regarding the proposal to review the Suitability Guidance for licence holders and new applicants.
In this consultation, it is proposed that card payments would make it easier and faster for customers to pay, and they wouldn’t need to ask drivers to stop at cash machines. Offering different payment options also helps improve customer safety in Swansea.
Please note that in these proposals, all proprietors would be required to take debit card, credit card and contactless card payments. Those proprietors who currently take cash payments would continue to do so under these proposals providing that they also give passengers the option to pay by card.
The proposed conditions are:
The proprietor shall ensure that passengers are given the option to make payment for all journeys, via a debit card, credit card and contactless card payment.
The proprietor shall ensure that all drivers of the vehicle are trained on how to use the card payment system and are aware that passengers must be able to have the option to make payment in this manner.
Where a fault in the card payment system is identified, the proprietor must arrange repair/replacement within 48 hours.
Please follow the link below to complete the short survey by 23:59 on Sunday 22nd June 2025.

Dear Swansea Council
Your Proposal to introduce mandatory card payment facilities in Hackney Carriage (taxi) and private hire vehicles is illegal.
To impose Mandatory measures without informed consent is criminal. In your letter, quote: Card payments would make it easier and faster for customers to pay, and they wouldn’t need to ask drivers to stop at cash machines. Offering different payment options also helps improve customer safety in Swansea. End of quote
This is half the truth. This is what you said about the COVID-19 vaccines: safe and effective. They end up neither safe and neithert effective.
With cash, you have no bottlenecks, no middleman.
What about the hidden fees?
Did you let the people know that if the internet is not working, they can not pay? Like happened at Greggs bakery in 2024. It happened to me on 20 June 2025, Lagland Bay, no internet, we had to drive to Newton for reception. Who is going to pay for the extra miles?
Google Pay and Apple Pay bottlenecks, and middlemen need 2 internet providers. The customer and the driver, 2 working mobile devices, a charged card terminal, Bluetooth connectivity from the driver’s mobile to the terminal, and 2 online banks to work with. Google Pay and Apple Pay have 6 to 8 bottlenecks and middlemen. If one of them is not working, the customer can’t pay.
Then we have to get all the payments at the front like Uber.
Every transaction made, 1%-3% gets lost to the card payment provider. The card payment provider can increase the transaction fee at any time.
Informed consent. Card payment providers’ shareholders killed over 31 million people in the last few years? With vaccines, herbicides, and weapons?
Informed consent, the Bank of England’s Digital currency will be programmable, and people like party animal Boris Johnson or Jimmy Shavile’s friend Kir Stamer can program the currency?
Informed consentyou spent over £250.000 every year on transaction fees?
Informed consent the new digital pound have a carbon footprint tracker? And will get lunched very soon.
Digital Pound can turn negative interest if the government asks.
Informed consent, the Non-Governmental Organization WHO treaty can restrict your card movement? It will work only a few miles from your house during the next “pandemic”.
The 128-page Bank of England PDF says you can have cash, but you will not need it. What does this mean? Are UK companies going cashless? Like Bristol Parking Airport went cashless in June 2025.
According to my last emails, I have already proven to you that your Judgement is wrong in many things. Most of you should be in jail for mass murder, fraud, treason, to name a few.
You advertised and coerced young people to have dangerous vaccines so that they would visit bars, cinemas, and the rest.
I know 3 people in Swansea with heart problems. I hope they will testify against you.
You promise us the vaccines are safe and effective. After a few months, Astrazenica has been banned. How many people do you kill with your vaccine campaign?
Don’t tell me that the vaccines saved millions is already debunked. I have an army of doctors and reports to prove otherwise. According to the WHO website https://www.vigiaccess.org/
5 783 276 Reports of side effects. Of them 27 662 proven immediate deaths. The people who died a few weeks after vaccination are not included. An award-winning team, Corrolation from Canada, studied the publicly available statistics of 125 countries and found 31 million access deaths in the first 2 years of vaccination. These deaths are from the vaccines. You are complicit in mass murder.

Between 70 – 80 UK councils have either banned glyphosate outright or turned to a chemical-free option.
Swansea Council is spending £118.000 every year on the carcinogenic chemical Glyphosate. My neighbour’s dog died one day after you sprayed Broco Glyphosate. Is it a coincidence?
Are you bribed? We need an independent investigation people with wrongdoing must face justice.
Swansea Council spent £1.6 million over the last five years on a card payment provider. Did you seek informed consent? Why not opt for a bank transfer?
The card payment providers, Gluphoste and Vaccines, have the same shareholders, BlackRock. Your Leader Kir Stamer, who left Jimmy Shavile escape justice and grooming gangs he invaded Black Rock in the UK.
BlackRock’s carcinogenic Vaccines and Glyphosate killed millions of people, and now you want to mandate BlackRock card payments? Are you working for Swansea People or Black Rock?
You’re monopolizing the Market, and in a few years, Black Rock will own everything in Swansea.
Black Rock is the biggest investment giant they have shares in the following companies: Visa, MASTERCARD, Uber, Flixbus, Google pay, Apple pay, Microsoft, Amazon,ebay, Disney, Netflix, Tesco, Asda, Sainsburys, B&Q, Toolstation, Screwfix, Travis Perkins, City Plumbing, Booking.com, Airbnb, Easyjet, All the car manufacturers, cigarettes, Alcohol, Radio, TV, Boats, Insurance, fuel, Electricity, Gas, McDonalds, KFC, BP, Shell to name few.
BlackRock has shares in weapon manufacture. Sold guns to Ukraine and Israel and bought the fertile land for nothing, Landgrab.
This is only a few of the problems with card payments. The people will not be Happy to find out that Corrupt politicians can program your account. Most of the British Parliament must go to jail for mass murder and treason. I don’t want mass murderers to program my life and my money.
We need a referendum and informed consent; otherwise, I do not agree to your proposal. Britcard and a Cashless society is a 1984 nightmare in your murderous hands means billions will die.
Your Sincirely

Katon Bouzalakos 24 June 2025 replay to proposal.
Dear Swansea Council, you committed treason, murder, and fraud.
All the solutions you offer us the last few years are best for Multinational companies like Black Rock and not for the people that voted for you.
I have all the details and evidence on my website www.freedragon.uk
Cashless society will kill billions of people. I can come to Swansea Council and lay down my evidence. Please stop killing people with your Blackrock puppet masters.
Do you remember when hundreds of Blackrock puppet politicians repeated safe and effective and after a few months they ban Astrazeneca Black Rock made trillions of dollars from covid, and now UK and the rest of the world has 8%-15% Excess deaths every year Japan up to 27%.
Now get ready to see oil and other products skyrocketed. Iran is not the target we are. Blackrock will sale weapons to the EU , UK, US, Australia, Canada and Israel, Then Blackrock will sell you oil and all products more expensive. When the delete Iran from the map Blackrock will take all Iran’s oil but the oil price will never come back down.
Win win for Blackrock, All our taxpayers money will go to Blackrock pockets. Now go use your BlackRock contactless payment and wonder who is going to pay for all these wars.
You faithfully

Swansea Counsil answer 30 June 2025
Dear Mr Bouzalakos
As the Licensing Manager, I am writing formally to address a matter of concern regarding your recent conduct, which has been deemed unacceptable and inconsistent with the standards expected of a customer and licence holder with Swansea Council.
On two separate occasions, namely 20th and 24th June 2025 you sent two emails to staff via taxilicensing@swansea.gov.uk where the language used was threatening toward staff of this Authority. This behaviour is not only disappointing of a licence holder but is also concerning in line with current guidance relating to the suitability of licence holders within the licensed taxi trade.
Your last email which is attached below, is in response to an awareness email sent you regarding changes to Castle Square. Your comments are not at all relative to the email sent to you and I would ask you to refrain from sending such emails in the future.
As an authority we take such matters seriously. Please be advised that continued behaviour of this nature may result in further action by way of referring the matter to the Complaints Manager with a view to implementing the Unreasonable Customer Behaviour Policy (‘The Policy’) of this Council and or referral to the General Licensing Committee to review your continued fitness and propriety to hold such licences in the future.
The City and County of Swansea is committed to serving all members of the public impartially and to providing a high quality service. However the Council reserves the right to take action to manage contact in order to protect the interest of its staff, the Authority and the wider public it serves. To this end the Council has adopted the Unreasonable Customer Behaviour Policy (‘The Policy’).
Please view the Policy at http://www.swansea.gov.uk/behaviour
A copy of this email will remain on your file.
Any further correspondence should be forwarded to taxilicensing@swansea.gov,uk as this mailbox is continuously monitored during business hours.
Regards
Arweinydd y Tîm Trwyddedu

I read the emails of 20th of and 24th June and I cannot find a single threat.
Can you point out the threat please?
I call you murderers, traitors, fraud.
I said you should be in jail.
Notice of Intended Prosecution.
You are not only murderers Traitors and fraud. you are also liars.
On top of that you threaten me to take my taxi licence because I dare to say the truth. (of course I can prove all the above.)Anytime anywhere.
My lawyer needs the name or the names of the people that threaten me to take my license. For loss of income.
I will take to court the person or the people who are responsible for my income loss.
If you have a meeting to take my taxi licence I need all the names that voted to take my licence.
They have to pay for my income loss, not the taxpayers.
The taxpayers money has already been used without inform consent for killer vaccines, carcinogenic Bronco glyphosate, card payment providers, weapons to Ukraine and Israel.
With few words much of taxpayers money going to multinational companies like Black, Vanguard, State street.
You are working for the globalist. Not for the people they voted for you.
Now like good puppets you are trying to make a new income for the billionaires. 2%-3% of the taxi drivers income to give it to your billionaires puppet masters.
If you want to take me to court for defamation please do it. We are looking forward to this day.
289 people trust me with their vote. This is 1% of Swansea voters. I am willing to honour their trust. Unlike Blackrock and WEF puppets
Yours faithfully
Swansea West Candidate 2021
