Blandford has a long track record of being hostile and not paying taxi fares. Abuse comes easy to him because he thinks he is superior to most other human beings. I can imagine how belittled this taxi driver might have felt but to take offence at being called a Hindu rather than a Sikh is stretching the realms of racism a little too far.

Blandford is a man of means and perhaps the prospect of rich pickings is the main reason behind this taxi drivers sudden disgust at being called a Hindu.

I said main reason in particular but I do not discount the fact that there could be other reasons?

Blandford might well have been abusive but I think it is going to be difficult to prove he was racist.

Regards

JD
I know Blanford is probably guilty as sin and has a reputation for being a complete ar*ehole, but he is still entitled to the presumption of innocence. Anyone else would be tried on the facts alone, with previous record referred to only after a verdict is reached. I wonder how they could ever find a jury in this country who don't know his reputation and could actually judge him fairly. Mr Singh must be the only one who's never heard of him!

How the 'old fart' associates that with a view on a verbal exchange, I don't know. It seems nowadays anyone who does'nt subscribe to the socialist point of view is a bigot, a racist, and a thug.

It's good to see the looney left are running scared as society suddenly wakes up to their alterior motives, and the only retort they have is to scream racist and Bigot.

One day common sense and majority views will return to society. :wink:


Don't tar us all with the same brush, I consider myself a socialist but I hate political correctness as much as you do.

Ken Livingstone.

All the great things he has implemented for the trade.

Bendy Buses.

More Buses.

Euro 3 Emissions kits.

Trafalgar Square (including the Pidgeons)

I rest my case. :wink:

Like the many other millions who work in London, I don't live there, being burgled every week, living in a cloud of Bus fumes or being shot has never appealed to me.

I live out in rural Herts, so get no vote for the lunatic who cocks up London a little bit more every day he's in power.

I can honestly say, i've never met anyone who will admit voting for him, bar the egjit from the GMB Minicab branch.

That's why you don't get a say. The ones who get a vote are the ones who pay for his ideas, regardless of how crackpot they may be. Isn't democracy wonderful? :roll:

That could be debatable. Livingstone loves the unemployed and the lazy, and likewise they love him as their saviour of having to do anything constructive for another 4 years, plus all the freebies. So it's a bit ironic when you suggest they pay for his ideas.

We all pay for the fools idea's through raised licensing fees, raised transport fares, the congestion charge, FPN's in their millions for stopping to allow customers to use a cash machine or alight.............

I'm sure that doesn't apply to everyone who voted for him. It could be argued that if those who could afford to live elsewhere have done so, you can't be surprised that the ones left behind are the poor, disabled, elderly, ethnic minorities etc.

I take your point. However, you choose to work there..............

Whats a "FPN" by the way?

Or the Lefties?

Theres no need to be 'poor' (whatever that is in 2007) in London, unless you really are unable to work. I find most able bodied unemployed citizens of London, are in that position because they're fecking lazy bone idle spongers, simple as that.

Thats why the millions of asylum seekers head for London, as there are jobs, jobs and more jobs there.

Livingstone seems to have a natural affinity with the lazy and useless in London society, freebies galore, all paid for by the London tax payer. :roll:

Most of us who live outside London do so as the London house prices force us to, given a choice I'd love to live in leafy Hampstead or Merton, but I'd have to swap my house for a 1 bed flat, not exactly condusive to family life.
