Taxi Driver Online

I wonder what contributors to this site view is of Licensing Hack and PH drivers who support or are members of racist Organisations ie BNP EDL etc.

Should that preclude them from working as PH or Hack drivers ?????????????

By support i mean making public statements of support for these Organisations.

BOOZE BOOZE BOOZE

its a flawed idea, no-one needs to join the BNP to be a racist, just as no-one needs a MUFC season ticket to be a soccer hooligan

its what people DO that matters, not what organisation they join

thoughts cannot be illegal

see,you always let yourself down, you cant help it

anyway, what you call a racist, many would call a nationialist, someone who has genuine worries about the future of the UK


you bemoan the state of the NHS when "medical tourists" costs the NHS millions, if not billions, wouldnt it be great if that was stopped, or is that a racist remark?

I'm from Brasil originally and I've met lots of people in the twenty years I've been here and I find people very nice, they ask me about home and I try to tell them what I can remember of it as it's so long ago since I was there, I'm thinking of going back as I'm getting older and the economy has improved a lot over there, and the weather as well, but it mean's leaving lots of friends behind who I won't see again so maybe not, every one should have the freedom to choose who they like and who they don't, they should simply avoid each other if that is the case and I can understand why some people go a bit too far, not that that is right btw but it happens and you need to live it to understand it and there seems to be a lot of mis branding here, I told people long ago just be my friend if you want to be, don't hold back and watch what you say, how can we be friends and trust each other if we are standing off with each other.

The question though, in the UK you have to commit a crime to be found guilty of one, a person who hasn't committed a crime can't be treated like one who has, any person racist or not who does the job properly and is polite to all should be suitable, only if that person is nasty to innocent people then you will have a case to say no licence.

Everyones entitled to have an Opinion on anything they want, Just because that opinion may not as yet be Vote winning or favourable with todays bunch of hypocritical wishy washy MP's or suit government officials, It should never interfere with peoples personal opinions nor ban certain groups from this or that simply because of their views or group memberships...with the exception of groups advocating Violence as a method of getting their views across..

Would either of these organistations could be considered racist - National Black Police Association or the National White Police association?

How about Greek Orthodox Church or Jewish Lads & Girls Brigade?



Whatever happened to "when in Rome"?

If I chose to live in another country, I would expect to learn the language and fit in with local customs and traditions even if they were different to what I was used to at home. If you don't someone will have a pop, rightly or wrongly. How would a British female get on in Islamabad wearing shorts, T shirt and flip flops because it was warm?

Just to clarify though, I am not racist in any way. Everyone is equal regardless of religious beliefs or ethnicity and by all means share the wonderful diverse cultures that are brought into the UK but don't expect us to fit in with you, you need to fit in with us. I also think the organisations TT mentioned stink. Also Tico is bang on.

hear hear

well said that man

integrate not dominate, all welcome so long as they recognise our laws, rules and traditions

Bit late now....those rules and Traditions are now diluted down weaker than a teaspoon'full of Cremola foam in a Gallon of water..

I get called all sort of thing by friends and strangers, unless it has any sort of hate drive to it I laugh it off and return fire with my own banter, ok my skin is darker than native Brit but they call me whole nut and other things that compare with chocolate bar and relate to Brazil Nut branding, I no care unless the hate face is there as well, I know i brownish and so is chocolate so why get all upset over the obvious, my most common retort is to fire back with ok Milky Bar Kid

Bizzarely of course there IS a National Black Police Association. How is that allowed? I don't think the National White Police Association would be permitted.

Ignorance of other cultures is of course a problem. I was brought up in North London and one of my best mates was a lad from Pakistan. I still remember his name, Arif Lalani. Looking back I must have really upset him at the time because my nickname for him was Allah! Obviously I had absolutely no incling as to how offensive that might have been, but it never seemed to be a problem.

Tico - many of us spend a load to go on holiday and get a sun tan! You are again bang on with your approach. Do you know my wife? She keeps muttering about having a Brazilian.

And Wannabe, definitely integrate. What really hacks me off in the day job is doing insurance for people that have lived here for years and years but we have to speak to wife/daughter/son cos the taxi driver we are quoting for "doesn't speak very good English". Wouldn't be allowed as a bus/ambulance/train driver.

Blood I fear you may be right but I haven't given up hope yet.

There is a black police association for the reason of stoping racism within the police force,which has been shown in the stephen lawrence case and others,i wouldnt have thought it was exclusively for black, maybe also asians and other minoritys.

If there was a white police association there would uproar....

If white police officers felt intimidated or were being racially abused maybe they would have one ? Theres nothing to stop them establishing one.

so how many complaints (of racism) a year does the black police association handle?
