I went to the chaos as Shine last night, to investigate on behalf of the LCDC. A compliance officer phoned the city of London police, alleging a Taxi driver was aggressive and drunk.
I have been a Taxi trade negotiator for over 25 years, never aggressive but sometimes firm when speaking on behalf of the Taxi Trade.
I am not frightened by authority, as they are civil servants and here to SERVE US.
Remember they WORK FOR US, WE PAY THEIR WAGES, they do not pay ours.
An official complaint is being prepaired and we are asking for a member of the TFL compliance team to be suspended pending the outcome of a false statement made to the City Police.
I can confirm that I do not drink and have not done so for 37 years.
