As I said Gary I, in the pas,t I, may have reacted the way you did, but in retrospect I would have relised that it was WRONG ! We've prob got more things in common than you would think. For example Noam Chomski?, Zimmerman? (Fantastic), But you chose the wrong option, get over it and have a happy life.
Point to what you don't understand or tell me where I have it wrong.

The guy at the wheel of the Range Rover was driving without due care and attention, his first offence, while on his mobile phone, his second offence. He hit his breaks deliberately putting myself and the taxi I was driving at risk, by driving dangerously, his third offence. He then abuses me by giving me the [edited by admin] sign, a breach of the peace, his forth offence. I was the victim in all of this, and you think I should be reprimanded for calling him a fuc*ing arse?

Under the circumstances, my response was measured and appropriate. I don't have to accept abuse of any kind just because I drive a taxi, and I have the right to defend myself.
Councillors are not here to reprimanded anyone. You are not at school. They are supposed to represent the public and taxi drivers are included.
Quote:
You are advocating that as a taxi driver you are not to be afforded the same rights and protections as everyone else in society. This paints a target on the back of every taxi driver for anyone who bears a grudge. What I said or didn't say is irrelevant. I couldn't prove any of it. No more than my accuser could. However, I am afforded the presumption of innocence and the right not to be forced to become a witness against myself.
When faced with an unfounded and malicious allegation how do you think you should be judged? Spin the bottle, a toss of a coin, Ouija board or simply drawing straws?
Do you think it would be acceptable for councillors, council workers or bus drivers to be treated in the same manner when faced with an allegation or is this the preserve of taxi drivers only?
You can't read anything and understand it if you are still a victim of group think.
You need to free your mind for your ar*e to follow, but you are still very much a Niddrie Boy with a wee taxi.
