TfL has insulted our countries veterans by closing down their main means of transport on Remembrance Sunday and now insulted our nations hero's by giving a safe heaven of employment to terrorists who are killing our service men and women abroad.
This action is indefensible. Giving refuge to the enemies of our nation is a gross insult to all who have died in its service and is akin to treason,.
In a week when, at a press conference about the heightened state of security, Met commissioner Sir Paul Stevens, made a reference to the car bomb left outside Tiger Tiger. It seems almost unbelievable that TfL would embrace a Satellite Office system that would put potential Taliban suicide bombers outside London's clubs and bars in Licensed Minicabs.
This surely has to be more serious than the Killer on the Knowledge and every Taxi driver has to look towards their respective representative bodies to organise a united protest to show the level of our feeling. If possible, perhaps we could even get our ex-service men and women involved. I believe the public at large would support any action.
I urge ever Taxi driver to write to Boris and their MP and lodge a complaint
Read the shocking truth for yourself...
In an article in the Guardian on Line, Ghaith Abdul-Ahad was taken to meet with a district chief in the house of a burly, bearded man who spoke passable English with a hint of a London accent. For most of the time he lived in east London, he said, but he came to Afghanistan for three months of the year to fight. He was a mullah and had the rank of a mid-level Taliban commander.
"I work as a minicab driver there," he said. "I make good money, you know. But these people are my friends and my family and it's my duty to come to fight the jihad with them.
"There are many people like me in London," he added. "We collect money for the jihad all year and come and fight if we can."
Although the headline says quite wrongly "London Cab Driver", I think this issue has to be side lined as the serious nature of the content of this article must take precedence.
This information needs to be passed to the US embassy, perhaps they can do what our own security service can't (keep Londoners safe)
ReplyDeleteWTF does TfL stand for anyway, Taliban for London?
Do we have to wait till Osama bin Laden gets nicked on point of Tiger Tiger before they do something?
Not surprised, rapists killers terrorist and suicide bombers given preferential treatment over licensed taxi drivers.
ReplyDeleteHendy must go and soon. Next demo has to be Windor House 14th Floor!
I am not joking here when i say you must send this article to SIMON COWELL, And before you think WTF can he do about it,Probaly more than most,Because he truly supports HELP FOR HEROES.
ReplyDeleteAnd at this moment in time the press here and in AMERICA,hang on to his every word.
I have also been told he is a real down to earth bloke,And we all know love him or hate him,if something annoys him,He is not afraid to speak out,TS NOT SUCH A SILLY IDEA after all.
I dont think a demo is called for here,Simply because TFL would simply say "how were we to know" the guy had no convictions and passed the CRB check.
ReplyDeleteWhat they wont be so keen for the public to know is the CRB check is for this country alone.
As we all know you could be a terrorist,rapist,or even mass murderer,in another country,And TFL,Will happily give you a license,
What we need is a high profile journalist to take this up,No disrepect to the GAURDIAN,as its done a splendid job,But we really need someone from say "THE SUN"or "THE MIRROR" As they are the papers the majority of people read.
Just how you go about it i dont know.
Brendan, good sugestion. Don't just hint to others but just do it.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think ? will this do the trick. I send this email to US Embassy Special Section, that among other things deals with Safety of US Citizens in the UK.
Dear Sir / Madam
Please find below information that could be of interest to you. If I send this email to wrong section, could you please redirect it to the correct one.
As your special section provide US citizens with information on safety and security in the United Kingdom, I on behalf of London Licensed Taxi Drivers urge you to contact UK Police to about cars left outside Tiger Tiger in Haymarket.
Please read the article below and the link will take you to the Newspaper story.

How do you destroy a city?
ReplyDeleteGet idiots to run it!
TfL and TPH - Not fit for purpose!
what we all knew anyway
ReplyDeleteIf this oountry still had standards Mr hendy would be looking for another job by now
"Controversial commissioner of TfL Peter Hendy, who insulted our countries veterans by closing down their main means of transport on Remembrance Sunday, has now insulted our nations hero's again by offering a safe heaven of employment to terrorists who are killing our service men and women abroad"
ReplyDeleteJust a thought, what was so important that it couldnt wait a week later ??? YES some of the closed tube lines were fully open the Sunday after rememberance incl the Jubilee so why the **** couldn't the work have been delayed a further week.
Hendy, Boris, hang your head in shame.
If I remember correctly, didn't the PCO take the licenses away from Jewish Taxi drivers who went to Israel to help defend their families in the Yom Kippor war.
