Reading the latest copy of Private Hire & Courier magazine the illustrious leader of the bosses association in London is quoted as saying in front of a meeting with the PCO;
We mustn't confuse license signage with branding. The mayor is not going to bring in branding because we know that door signage cause rape and increased plying for hire.
I find that an odd thing to say, I wonder if he could advise us why signage is the cause of rape and not the persons committing the offence? Perhaps he means signage could lead to the public thinking private hire vehicles were available for immediate hire and he cannot trust some London private hire drivers not to committ rape? Thats what it sounds like but I suppose he really didn't mean that but just what did he mean?
