warning dodgy daily
FURIOUS taxi drivers have hit out at a “woke” ban on flying England flags during the Euros.
Leftie London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s Transport for London bosses say the St George’s Cross could “distract” other drivers and even cause accidents.
And the capital’s 125,000 drivers have been warned they could face serious penalties including losing their black cab licence if they fly the red and white banner.
Drivers have hit back insisting the flags are no more distracting than the colourful paint jobs on vehicles plastered with advertisements.
And they accuse Khan’s killjoys of pandering to woke concerns that the English flag is offensive to minorities.
Cabbies across the rest of the nation are not affected with many flying the flag to show support for the Three Lions’ campaign in Germany.
I doubt that there are plenty of council like banning the flag of St george
London's 125,000 black cab, taxi, private hire and Uber drivers have all been barred by TfL from displaying mini flags – and even stickers - of any country
Bosses say their rules only permit only “official taxi signs and stickers” to be displayed in or on vehicles.
Black cab driver Fred Perkins, 60, based on a rank in Chelsea, West London, said: “It's nonsense. It's all coming down from Khan at the top, because he's ultimately in charge.
“Our society has really gone woke when we can't fly a little flag for England for the Euros. Loads of drivers used to have flags on their cabs in years gone by.
