My quote of the day -
ReplyDeleteMichael Crick, the political editor on Newsnight, which was scrapped on Friday, said: “I haven’t listened to the Today programme. I regard listening to or watching the BBC as strike breaking.”

the cabbie story has nothing to do with being British - he had to remove the sign because Council regulations don't allow any signage in the cab.
ReplyDeleteNuttall knows this, he even says it in his final paragraph, but that doesn't stop him making the sort of crazy accusations normally associated with the far-right. Why give him more publicity?
(And as an aside, the reason cabbies can't put up any signs in their cabs is because the Council will have exclusive advertising deals. Allowing cabbies to put their own signs up undermines this deal.)
