Lily Allen told to 'find an immigrant' to give her a ride by cab driver

http://news.sky.com/story/lily-allen...river-10635590

I don't like to say this, but this is a long time coming. There is a bitter war between Black Cabs, Mini Cab and Uber drivers. And it wont end here.

We have seen through the problems in the London area, where Black Cabs are concerned that some Mini Cabs and Uber may NOT be properly assessed properly.

And yes, the Black Cabs Association have come out to say that this was Inappropriate. But this will continue. As some stars wont say what happens to them. They just want to go from A - B at the cheapest rate possible.

In fact a 'war 'was happening at Heathrow where Black Cabs have to pay a rate to go onto the Cab rank where Mini Cabs don't

Behaviour which was said, is not very nice. But it won't be the last it is said

Re: The bitter war with Cabbies

What has this got to do with any "war" between black/mini/uber cabs ?

Clearly some driver simply decided to get back at her for the comments she made the other week.

This is not a war???

This is just a driver that was being a bit of an asshat.

That black cab driver should lose his licence.

NOT because she is Lily Allen, but because she was a female with 2 kids.

So it would have been fine if she had 1 kid, or none, or was male ?

Actions have consequences, now Miss Allen (Mrs?) knows that there are people who also make statements.

Maybe she'll take a moment of quiet reflection...

Nah, she won't she'll be a 'victim'

I'd buy the taxi driver a pint personally, and spare me the PC platitudes, not interested.

I'd buy him a pint too. What gives her the right to apologise on my or anyone else's behalf?

Me too. Yet another rich and morally superior star who rather likes supporting causes which won't directly affect them or their equally rich mates.

Re: Lily Allen told to 'find an immigrant' to give her a ride by cab driver

I dare say there'll be Allen supporters (and others) calling for the guy to lose his job for daring to offend. No doubt they'll have a lot more sympathy for the plight of the 'children' in Calais than the taxi driver's...

What about the offence she caused to citizens of this country without their permission? Who does she think she is????

I can't see anything in her comments deserving of being refused a taxi.

Re: Lily Allen told to 'find an immigrant' to give her a ride by cab driver

She made a statement, the taxi driver made another, don't make it sound like it was the only taxi in the World, at worst she was mildly inconvenienced.

Maybe the taxi driver like many others is sick to the back teeth of luvvies warbling about how they're ashamed of our country, apologizing for it and bleating endlessly about the 'poor refugees' and how we should all adopt a family.

Maybe I'll change my viewpoint when I see the nice shiny new refugee shelters the likes of Bono, Geldof & Allen build.

Until then, I'll consider them twunts.

Oh & I don't care if you feel I'm being 'nasty' I have my big boy pants on.
