What gives Alex, why are you so worried about what's being written that you are deleting posts, locking and deleting threads? :-k

The only person not making a valid contribution was that as*ole 187ums. :?

Maybe a non news item should be discussed outside of the news section.

Calm down and open your eyes.

I'm perfectly calm. I honestly don't know what the problem is. Oh and I don't think I've ever been censored on TDO before so it's News to me?

Oh and Sussex, if I've said something liable or actionable, in some way shape or form. I am more than happy to defend my position on the subject. :?

It wasn't licensing conditions it was the DDA / Equality Act tho - regardless of this it was the firm that sacked the driver not the LA

You've lost me. I don't think you have grasped the correct end of the stick, regarding my posts on the locked thread. :?

The issue was about the incompatibility of being a Muslim and picking up guide dogs subject to your licensing conditions. :?

No one is saying you are, as far as I can see, but my point is the issue you raised has been moved to another section.

As it's not news, its been moved from the news section.

I must weigh in!

There is no incompatibility. Keeping a dog as a pet and carrying one in your vehicle for a person who NEEDS it are two different things. The drivers who refuse to do so are idiots and need better information relayed to them.

In various different sects of Muslims, dogs are allowed to be kept as pets. not all Muslim sects disallow it.

The main issue is people refusing to carry dogs. When I was going through the rigmarole of doing my knowledge, as part of the disability awareness course you would not believe how many people were saying they would not like to carry dogs. Then you also have to remember that many of my co-religionists would happily carry one. It is unfair to tar everyone.

Bollocks!!

There's your incompatibility:

"Not all sects disallow it", but some do and that's why Muslims should be forced to give an undertaking they are happy to pick up guide dogs before they are granted a licence. :-|

If I had my way, religion would be banned altogether. So think yourself lucky. :evil:

next you'll have all muslims wearing a crescent or something to identify them, just like the ****'s did with the jew's, and anyway its in the licensing conditions, if they dont take a guide dog, then they should lose their license - simple as that.

Listen, I think anyone who admits to being of religious faith should have "I'm an arshole" tattooed across their foreheads. Oh and I would start with the Muslims, and then the Christians and so on... :evil:

Anyone who believes in this religious nonsense, needs their head examined. :evil:
