But then shouldn't we all be praising Red Ken for the PH licensing program?

Yes some of those that can't get licensed still ply their trade, but the ones that are licensed have now been told work legally or lose your license.

In my view that's a massive step forward, and IMO has saved many many females from attack.

Oh, and don't forget the '7 rapes by PH drivers' evidence, we have'nt forgotten.


What a nasty peace of work you are.
I told you I am not Anderson that's Thom.
He and John do the filming, not me, although John got assaulted in Kings Cross and had his camera broken. That should put a sick smile on your pathetic face. By the way they are the hard men in reality and god help you if they ever meet you.

Right now , you don't deserve this you dog
and I wont be doing it again.
This will show that before the PHV's were licensed 2001 rapes and serious sexual assaults by mini cab drivers in London were running at about 38 a year
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2001/mar/01/gender.uk1

shortly after Licensing 2005 they were running at about 10 a month. that's 120 a year, an increase of over 120%.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4263800.stm

I haven't found the last one that shows the latest figures for 2007 but I do remember its got something to do with the TOCU squad bringing down the figures to 7 a month.
If you want to know any more stop prating a bout as someone else and use goggle Captain!
Now I think its your turn to answer That nice Mr taxiCABman or are you still answering a question with a question.

BTW what do you mean by

and how many HC drivers committed such crimes? and to put it further into context what is the Ratio of HC to PH/Minicab drivers. the Crime rate per individual HC and PH may balance out to around the same. after all, figures can say whatever the publisher wants them to say.



Right so I can put you down as a Mini cab man then or PHV driver if you prefer
Get your facts right,
how many HC drivers committed such crimes?
There has only been one HC Licensed taxi driver convicted or rape since the sixties, not one a week
what is the Ratio of HC to PH/Minicab drivers
25000 Licensed Taxi Drivers- 46000 Mini Cab PHV drivers.
the Crime rate per individual HC and PH may balance out to around the same.
Keep dreaming Bloodnock.
after all, figures can say whatever the publisher wants them to say

There's not a lot you can do with 1 in forty years as apposed to 120 a year.

still just for you some figures with a massage
01134 put these into a calculator and upside down they spell Hello.


Now whos twiddling figures... who said that each of these 7 incidents a month was a rape, also you only mention the one Rape in 40 years by an HC driver and youve never mentioned the other serious Incidents in that same time period. Even allowing for that the simple fact is that there is more PH/Minicab Drivers that dont commit such crimes than there is HC Drivers that dont Commit such Crimes : EG Approx 44,000 good guys/lassies driving PH/MC and only 24,999 HC good guys/lassies driving. it just proves my point, its all about figure manipulation.

Yes Im PH, but im truly fed up of certain HC drivers thinking that we PH are all some sub form of low life whilst they are some kind of beyond criticism DemiGods.

No you mist the point the figures went up by 120% not down after he introduced Licensing.

What other serious incident are you talking about to do with HC lets see some evidence then. if your talking about the recent case he hasnot been found guilty yet.
When some mini cab driver sticks his willy in some young girls mouth it is recorded as a serious sexual assault, ask her if she thinks she was raped. no ones twiddling with the figures.
I have nothing against the PH drivers up north, you've had 30 odd years to sort out your LA.
We on the other hand in London have a bunch of half wits dishing out Licenses to any old Thom dick and Harry and have olny had PH licensing for a few years. we also have a few HC dick heads like GBH that dont make it any better.

Nothing Proves your point by the way, what you wrote was utter tosh.

I've never known a spot check on a hack or P/H vehicle to take two hours. In fact I've never known a full test check to take two hours. Perhaps they should give "spot checks" a new name?

So its been its one rape in 40 odd years, extremely serious indeed..and absolutely no other form of sexual assault of any description by any HC driver in london....?? very admirable indeed, however thats not what i was getting at, my point was that you you twiddle figures to suit yourself. Sadly you seem to have an ability to read a statement and not grasp a single word of its contents, that suggests to me that its because your are so self opinionated that you find it difficult to absorb anything new. im not saying what constitutes a rape..im just saying your Twiddling facts to suit your own self righteous opinion, this is because you have a higher level of Ignorance than most of us could ever aspire to. So...pleaaaaaaaaaaasese just get off your HC morale high horse and simmer down. you'll only burst a blood vessel. :?

Right Lets start again; what am I missing?
your statement is as clear as mud.
The Links and statements I gave you are not opinions, they are fact.
Your opinion didn't stand up to cross examination.
I have given you my Links as far as I can there is nothing that you can possibly call me self opinionated about.
And I still don't have a clue what point your trying to make.

I still like you though,
any man who can wear a skirt cant be all bad. Do you look like Mel Gibson in yours. No dont answer I'm off to California at the week end It will give me something to think about on the long flight.

That may well have been the case in the short time after licensing, but I would be very surprised if attacks by licensed PH drivers now were in-line with attacks by unlicensed minicab drivers prior to 1997.
