Taxi Driver Online

Boris Johnson tells taxi drivers to jump off Tower Bridge


There wasn’t a great deal new in Boris Johnson’s conference speech today.

His old joke about selling cake to France was wheeled out for the umpteenth time as was his antique spiel about saving London from Chateauneuf du Pape swilling, semi-reformed Marxists.

There was one addition to his stump speech however which I’m amazed hasn’t been picked up elsewhere.

Talking about taxi drivers who protested over Olympic lane restrictions, he said:

“The taxi drivers were blockading the West End. One of them actually handed the keys of his cab to a police guy and jumped off Tower Bridge. I wish some of the others could have done the same frankly but never mind.”

For a Mayor of London to call for taxi drivers to throw themselves off a bridge is pretty remarkable.

Especially considering how badly relations between City Hall and many cabbies have deteriorated in recent years.

When Labour’s mayoral candidate Ken Livingstone cracked a joke about hanging bankers during the election campaign all hell broke loose.

Yet when the current Mayor of London tells cabbies to throw themselves off a bridge, it’s barely even reported.

The press often talk about Boris “getting away with murder” as if it’s a natural law, rather than a direct result of them letting him get away with it.

His drown-a-cabbie comments are just one small but telling example.

Ah that explains a lot so when TT comes on here he's well oiled after downing a bottle of chateaneuf du pape. I bet he doesn't even know where the Rhone valley is

Might be a great publicity stunt though if a load of cabbies bungee jump off tower bridge in protest at Boris johnsons policies I bet the papers and TV would cover that !!

It will be the final nail in the UK coffin if he does, and I think you are right that he will be one day,

Trouble with public UK is it only uses about 0.1 % of it's brain cell, I remember seeing an opinion thing on tv some years ago, the subject was our man Blair, the women were more interested in voting for him due to image, not that sexy Tones is a looker it was just he wasn't Marj Thatcher or Albert Steptoe to look at, and these people have the right to vote, frightning,

It wouldn't be so bad if the MP's didn't take the votes by making the things that are killing the country more appealing to the 9.30 am ITV viewer, whose most likely to vote, the lazy whose done and got nothing to do all day or a hard worker whose knackered at the end of the day.


AND NOW A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR

Welcome back doom and of course on this one I agree the morons would rather watch corrie crap enders emmerdump or some other mind nunbing crap than watch anything of importance to their well being its no mistake that these shytte progs never clash thereby pampering to the cretins, prostituting the media I CALL IT
