PAISLEY BUDDIE WROTE

He could always get a job as a limo driver or chauffeur anywhere in Scotland except Edinburgh or Dundee...

No licence required, no need to be 'fit & proper'



Where have you been Mr Paisley, you do need a licence to drive a limo and this is indeed being clamped down on most rigorously, you obviously have no idea what your talking about and for your own reasons dont like limos, however there here and here to stay.

I also personally object to being put in the bracket of QUOTE NOT FIT AND PROPER. This is some rash statement, but i am more mature than to start a slanging match here so i shall leave it at that and put it down to you having a bad day.

kind regards :roll:


Unfortunately at the present time in Scotland my statement is indeed fact

The only Councils in Scotland that licence limousines & other novelty vehicles are Edinburgh City & Dundee, so if you hire a limo anywhere else in Scotland it could be a sex offender that drives you or your kids

I have the evidence to prove it, last year Strathclyde Police had to act in Paisley in order to stop a convicted sex offender driving a limo because the local council were not interested

There are no limousines licensed by the VOSA in Scotland

kind regards

I agree, the World has gone totally mad mike, but do you fight it or just capitulate and start quizzing your fellow members of society to look for signs of thought crimes. :roll:


Don't you do that already?

And before you ask all of the above. :-|

It's not paranoia if they really are after you? :wink:

Though crime must be reserved for those who have the capcity to think? And moralising must be some god given innate code?

Being secular I am not sure of the new Puritanism, though perhaps you could expand on this? :wink:

Captain Cab


Morals & Ethics

One is internal or innate (God given) good or evil, a choice, free will. The other a code or promise. Divine witness over your future acts or behaviour (Hippocratic oath) God again but this time he is watching you and sort of in you.

Me I like a Godless morality, no big man in the sky handing down sh**


Thought crime, the ability to think without being controlled or programed by the state or society. If you think the wrong thoughts it's a crime against the state because you don't think what they want you to think? You question everything? And if you question the state you know what happens? :wink:

No, I do not agree that morals need be linked to religion at all, it's a sense of whats right and whats wrong really, this could be based on many things, look at the human rights act.

A moral person is not necessarily a moralist?

"Decency, security, and liberty alike demand that government officials shall be subjected to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen. In a government of laws, existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy"

Louis Brandeis


Still holds true to this day if you ask me.

Wee problem, this statement bares no resemblance to our Government, especially Local Government. :?

It reads more like a fairy story :-|


Power money and control are the real rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen. :wink:
