Taxi Driver Online

Yes your right everything is beyond me and im as thick as they come and even with the attention span of a gnat and the intelegence of a lemon i know its not right for a grown man to be txting 13 year old girls and aranging to meet them at midnight. Now you on the otherhand after reading orwell must be a very inteligent man and no doubt very well educated and yet cant see anything wrong in his behaviour.. Maybe you should start a petition to get his badge back for him and lets even get him a school run. Or maybe you should just have a good hard look in the mirror and figure out what it is that makes you think that way because that is not normal behaviour

So do you and billybob think its ok for him to txt young girls and arange to meet them and that he should be allowed to continue picking vunrable people up

No we don't. We happen to believe in due process and justice. I have never said that I agree with what he did, only you said that mid-rant. I will never agree with conviction without a fair trial. You should try more thinking and less gut reaction.

It is obvious that I can think of what the future ramifications of verdict without trial means. I tend to think before I open my gob, you on the other hand just make rambling assumptions and pseudo accusations. Don't bother replying I would rather speak to a pebble.

what i THINK is that there may have been a case for police to interview him on the matter of "grooming"

right now hes free to txt young girls unhindered, he has no criminal record either, id call that a chance missed

we will have to agree to disagree. I think the council and police are right in there actions in this case and that in this instance prevention is better that cure

Listen, "inappropriate behaviour" we think we have a good idea what that means, in this case, but where do you draw the line? And yes, I think the council got it right... in this case.

Give me your definitions of "inappropriate behaviour" because if you ask your council. You can bet your boots they don't have one. They simply make it up as they go along. This term could be used to remove your licence just because you made some "inappropriate" comment on Facebook, which was taken completely out of context.

Oh and while you are at it, give me criteria and definition for what constitutes, a fit and proper person, because once again, your council has no clue what this means?

As a taxi driver, when faced with an allegation, you have to prove your innocence, in most cases. You don't have the right, not to reply, or to become a witness against yourself by speaking to said allegation. You are judged on what you say and what you don't say, and they don't need credible evidence to come to their decision.

In other words, no one is protecting your rights, least of all your council or the courts. So the best you can do, is to spill your guts, in the hope they take pity on you.

The magistrates there give a good definition of "inappropriate behaviour".

An appeal through the courts doesn't mean his case is heard anew. It is merely a test of council procedure when coming to the decision of revoking his licence.

Consider this Trotsky, your council deems your comments on TDO, to be "inappropriate" and they decided to revoke your licence, you are no longer a "fit and proper person" to hold a licence, in their eyes. You fail to meet their required standard whatever that may be.

You may think their decision is completely bonkers and an attack on your freedom of speech, but that is not what would be heard at your appeal, unless of course, you could fund a human rights case on that very issue.

The Judge would simply check to see if your council had followed the correct procedures when coming to their decision. Oh and your Lawyer would happily pocket your cash for launching an appeal that had no reasonable prospect of success.

You've had your appeal Trotsk, and you haven't a clue where it all went wrong, in this free country, where a working mans rights are protected.

So while I agree, this perv needed to be put off the road, be careful what you wish for, because our legal system affords you little protection as a taxi driver.

No. The magistrates merely agree with the council's decision. There is no clear definition of inappropriate behaviour that I can see. We merely presume that we know what is appropriate and therefore, what is inappropriate but this can vary from issue to issue? And there is nothing stopping your council from revoking your licence for say, shouting obscenities at a neighbour because his dog sh*t in your garden.
