I have yet to meet a politician who was anything other than lying conniving bast***.

They are not interested in anything other than their political careers and the benefit you can bring to them. I’ve even watched councillors who are men of the cloth lie through their teeth and refuse to answer questions that didn’t suit them. This is the kind of people you might want to get into bed with Mr. T but not me. Your empire is important to you and that is fair enough but that doesn’t change anything. I am well aware of how this game is played, and how they want you to play it by their rules, by fulfilling their needs, while throwing you scraps to keep everyone in line. And Yes Mr T, you will derive some benefit form kissing them on the ar**, and giving them their status but only at a greater cost to everyone concerned. This is about rats feeding on rats and if anyone steps out of line or voices an opinion, he must be stopped. Regardless of what the truth might be.


47 Cabbies are murdered in what, 15 years, and politicians all of a sudden develop a conscience…I don’t think so somehow.

You and the brothers Cab might have done very well out of tugging forelock for politicians, but at what price?

Yes, but try telling that to some of the councils.

The thing is surely that you good make a fair fist of arguing that any issue is either national or local, but as regards trade regulation I think more things should be decided nationally and the local area left with the enforcement remit.

More central control?

I dont agree.

If 47 school teachers had been killed doing their jobs during the past 15 years, if 47 doctors or nurses had been killed, do you think there'd be this level of apathy within the nation?

I dont see law and order as a local issue, I cant remember ever saying such either.

These 47 murders are (and mind my french) and absoltue national f8*king disgrace.

What needs to be done is quite simple and I could probably solve 90% of it overnight if given the power, mind you, I'd be as unpopular as ....errm I am now really

Update: Murder, High Wycombe

The man who died following an attack at The Rye, High Wycombe, on Tuesday evening, May 8, has been formally identified as Mohammed Mahroof, a 39-year-old from Chiltern Avenue, High Wycombe. During a forensic post-mortem conducted yesterday afternoon at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, it was concluded that he died from a single stab wound. More details cannot be released at this point for operational reasons.
The two men who have been arrested, a 20-year-old and a 26-year-old from High Wycombe, are still in police custody. Police have secured a warrant for further detention of the 20-year-old until 10.55pm tomorrow (11/5) night. They will seek a warrant for further detention of the 26-year-old today (10/5). The men have not been charged.
Det Supt George Turner from the Thames Valley Police Major Crime Unit, who is leading the investigation, said: “I would like to renew my appeal for any witnesses who were in the vicinity of the Rye near to the Abbey Way end between 8pm and 9pm on Tuesday night to contact the police. Any piece of information could prove vital to the investigation.”
Supt Rob Angell, Wycombe Local Police Area commander, said: “Violent attacks like this are very rare in High Wycombe and we have committed significant resources to investigating this crime. I am acutely aware of safety concerns amongst local taxi drivers and have ordered patrols to be stepped up over the weekend to reassure them and the public. Our thoughts are with the Mahroof family, their relatives and friends at this very difficult time.
“What is absolutely key at the moment is that anyone who witnessed the incident or has information that can help the investigation gets in touch with us or Crimestoppers so that we can secure a conviction for the Mahroof family.”
Anyone with information is urged to contact detectives, via the 24-hour Police Enquiry Centre, on 0845 8 505 505. If callers don’t want to talk to police and don’t want to give their name, they can call the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.

Two asian Drug addicts have been arrested one of them just came out of prison just 10days ago. one off them who lived with his mother. returned home covered in blood. his mother phoned the police

I hope they rot in jail

It reminds me of an incident round here about 15 years ago when a local driver was robbed at knife point by two youths who he picked up from the police station the knife they used hadn't been confiscated by the police because the blade was below a certain size ! they were never caught !!!!!!

At least this time they have caught the bloke but too late for the driver that died but it begs the question why isn't more being done to prevent people like this coming out of jail and immediately committing crime

Unions supporting gut-less governments is a start.

Makes me wonder as to whether the unions have been infiltrated with government people

I mean to say, what business ( trade unions) stand back and watch their subscriptions (income) go down, and do nothing to try to bring it back via new members!

As Fred from coronation st used to say (dead now,) Toothless, toothless I say thats what they are.

P.S never watched it myself, the Misses was telling me about it.

Here we go again

A killer who drove over a taxi driver after stealing his cab was today being hunted by police.

Police were called to St Benedict's Avenue in Gravesend, Kent, to reports that the victim had been assaulted, then run over, at 10.10pm yesterday.

The unnamed victim, who worked for Millennium Data Cabs in Gravesend, had his taxi stolen before it was later found abandoned and burnt out in nearby Truro Road.

A Kent Police spokesman said a murder investigation was under way as forensic teams sealed off part of the road to conduct fingertip searches.

A spokesman for Millennium Data Cabs confirmed the victim, believed to be an elderly man, worked for them, but declined to give further details.

Alan Meen, who lives in St Benedict's Avenue, told BBC Kent the victim had "burn marks" on his arms from the car's exhaust.

He said he was called to the scene by a neighbour and added: "I put some blankets over him, put a blanket underneath his head, and waited for the ambulance."

Conservative Gravesham MP Adam Holloway urged the killer to surrender himself to police immediately.

He said: "What really worries me about this is that somewhere in the community there is a nutter who ran someone over last night.

"That person should be in custody as soon as possible. If you are the idiot that did this, you better go to the cops right now."

Residents spoke of their shock at the murder. George Tarling, 70, a retired HGV driver, said: "You don't expect things like this to happen on your own doorstep.

"Generally this is a very quiet area with really no major crime problems except for the odd garage break-in.

"But I have heard of people asking taxi drivers to drop them off round here and then making a run for it without paying.

"I spoke to one taxi driver recently who said it happened three times in one week. I suppose it is because there are a lot of escape routes round here and it is easy for people to leg it."

Another resident, labourer Allan Dartnell, 41, said: "We've had no serious crime round here in the seven years that I've lived here.

"It's terrible. I heard the police sirens last night but I went back to bed and thought nothing of it until I woke up this morning to go to work and found police all the place.

"I've been told to wait here until police have given me the all-clear to go but in the meantime I've just got to stay in."

May Fowke, 80, said: "I feel terrible and frightened knowing that someone has been murdered near my own doorstep.

"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is coming to an end. I heard quite a bit of noise last night but I never thought it would be something as serious as this."

Taxi drivers said the incident would lead to heightened anxiety for those who work nights.

One, who declined to be named, said: "This is bound to put some taxi drivers off working nights.

"All we're doing is going out trying to make some money and then something like this happens.

"If drivers refuse to work nights, then we are going to get moaned at by customers. It does make you more wary."

I think that in the end we all know we are in a very vunerable job. So maybe CCTV might deter some and catch some that aren't detered, in the end the only way I can see in reducing these attacks is longer sentances for the bad guys.

And that's not just the killers, but the thugs and the runners.
