that's how the headline reads - but it's not how it was reported on TV last night, nor indeed is it said in the text of the article. The police are investigating not the refusal, but threats made after the event. and the driver wasn't dismissed for refusing to transport poppies, but for falsifying his job card.

all very strange, eh?

I've never driven a taxi. (Well, it seems like a free-for-all round here, so I thought I'd put my oar in too).

Andy-hughes, //the anti-Muslim agitators//

Oh my! And you such a stickler for ‘the rules’ too. Perhaps both you and Spath should take time off to breathe before you post.

//how about a response to what I posted at 13:34 - care to 'go' on that?//

Right.

// up to this point, I have been debating purely on the information provided in the link supplied by the OP.//

But you got it wrong. Contrary to your claim, the OP mentions the driver’s refusal – so now I’m repeating myself.

//three allegations don't make one truth - do they.//

They don’t – but that don’t make a lie either - do they.

My opinion is that if the likes of naomi42 can claim they've been 'debating', then I can jump in with my observations about what car I drove in 1963.

Why do i need to take a breather? What have i said that’s so hysteric for me to take some time to compose myself and my thoughts?

[naomi24]

bainbrig. Who would 'the likes of Naomi' be?

Incidentally, I haven't mentioned 'debating'. You're getting confused again.
