whatever anyone thinks of skulls opinions its simply not right that the council are allowed to take away your livelihood in this way.


And that for me is the important point here.
If we let a council stuff someone because we don't like them or what they stand for, sooner or later they will stuff someone we do like. It could be any of us next.

    When the Nazis came for the communists,
    I remained silent;
    I was not a communist.

    When they locked up the social democrats,
    I remained silent;
    I was not a social democrat.

    When they came for the trade unionists,
    I did not speak out;
    I was not a trade unionist.

    When they came for the Jews,
    I remained silent;
    I wasn't a Jew.

    When they came for me,
    there was no one left to speak out.

    Pastor Martin Niemöller


Kinda says it all.

No matter who or why I'd never want to see any one possibly lose their job or ability to work through no fault of their own. Different if someone had been recklessly driving or causing offence to customers

Now im sure skull says the alleged complainant never said anything at the time to him but went straight to the official channels. Complainant did nothing wrong here in my opinion. Had skull upset them in some way then he may have thought "right stuff continuing with him, I'm gonna go straight to the head honcho to get this dealt with", much like if you were in a store and the 16 yr old girl that doesn't care about her job giving you an apology that had no substance to it you deal straight to her supervisor to get the result you want

This appears to be shagging complainant did.

Cab office asked skull to come in to deal with it. But skull stamps his feet and petulantly had a sulk. Had it been myself and I felt I had done no wrong then id be straight in to defend myself.

Had I been in the wrong then I'm sure I might want to try and hide and hopefully it goes away

Skulls petulance and standfest approach just makes him look even more guilty, whatever the offence may be, IMO

We've all had instances with run ins with our customers but I always try to be professional in my work and demeanor but if I do have someone complaining i usually say "sorry" if im in the wrong but if I feel I'm right I reply "if you have a problem with me and my work, take it up with the council or cab office. i can give you the phone numbers if you want?"


Have you tried Andrew's liver salts?

Don't you realise this is a political conspiracy?

:roll:

And do you fully realise where tis is going for the council? They clearly don't. That's because they are stupid and incompetent. But after reading this forum, surely you do? :oops:

Does something require a death camp to be unjust?

So no, obviously you don't see.

I hope you will next time you comment on some council taking away a driver's livelihood for over-ranking.

Are you really this thick? FFS

No, I don't think he's Joan of Arc, nor do I think CEC are the master race.
But just where did the master race get started CC?
Half a dozen lunatics in a Munich bar, plotting and scheming against those they didn't like, to further their own ambition.

Death camps, genocide and wars of extermination were the end result of doing nothing. The thick end of the wedge.
What was the thin end CC? Where did it all start?
A few untruths about why a war was lost?
A few boot-boys painting slogans and smashing windows?
People turning a blind eye because they thought the target deserved it?

Cu*t or not, if we allow this to happen without protest, we deserve no better when it's our turn.
Or perhaps you think rights should only be afforded to the "right" people?
Who decides who is worthy? You?

If you allow peoples' rights to be trampled, because you don't like them or don't think it can happen to you or yours, you are a fool.

It's not about the person - it's the system.
If he's a cu*t, the system should be able to deal with him in a fair and just manner, respecting his rights in the process.
The same way as it deals with everyone and in the way we would expect to be dealt with ourselves.

Anything else is unacceptable in a supposedly democratic society.

gusmac,
The guy has history, he is lucky to still have his licence at the moment, due to violence.
It is only because HE IS being treated in a fair manner that he is driving a taxi today.

There SHOULD be a line that should not be crossed when it comes to the actions of taxi drivers, both verbal and physical, and if it is crossed then action NEEDS to be taken.

You seem to conveniently forget that all of this is because the council restricts taxis.

Had the council actd reasonably none of this would be happening today.

This is a direct result of council fascism. End of.

Remove the restriction, the war ends. Once the Kangaroo court has been dealt with of course.

But then, you are part of the problem. That's why you support injustice.
