CHRISTIANS TAKE ON THE CABBIES

TAXI drivers are set to face new competition - from a Christian group.

Christian leaders are so concerned about the safety of Glasgow's revellers they are launching their own cab firm.

And they plan to make the lift home service free.

The principal of the city's International Christian College claims he got the idea after a meeting with Mother Theresa just before her death.

Reverend Tony Sargent says young drinkers are at risk from muggers, sex attackers and hypothermia.

He thinks the college, who run a Saturday "Buddies Bus" from Sauchiehall Street to get vulnerable folk home, could be their salvation.

Now, they hope to set up a small fleet of cars with their student volunteers as cabbies.

Rev Sargent said: "If you go down to Sauchiehall Street on a Sunday morning, it's alive with young people.

"Many are enjoying themselves but there are some worse for wear. They have lost their senses and can find themselves in quite a vulnerable state.

"So we hope to increase the breadth of the assistance we can give."

A free ride home :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

I can just see these young Christian students getting the $hit kicked out of them when they start preaching ....................... that'll teach them.

Won't last a week ........ so no need to worry.
