<p>Book a Taxi <a href="http://www.londonblacktaxis.net/phpform/use/bookingconfirmation/form1.html" target="_blank">Online</a> or phone +44 (0)7779 336 612</p>
<p>A man died and went to Heaven. As he stood in front of the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him He asked, &#8216;What are all those clocks?&#8217;</p>
<p>St. Peter answered, &#8216;Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock move.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;Oh&#8217;, said the man. &#8216;Whose clock is that?&#8217; &#8216;That&#8217;s Mother Teresa&#8217;s', replied St. Peter. &#8216;The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;Incredible&#8217;, said the man. &#8216;And whose clock is that one?&#8217; St. Peter responded, &#8216;That&#8217;s Abraham Lincoln&#8217;s clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abraham told only two lies in his entire life.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;Where&#8217;s Gordon Brown&#8217;s clock?&#8217; asked the man.</p>
<p>&#8216;Brown&#8217;s clock is in Jesus&#8217;s office. He&#8217;s using it as a ceiling fan.&#8217;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">Its now official, Gordon Brown is the worst prime minister ever!<br />
His handling of everything he is involved in is a shambles.<br />
There is not one thing that Gordon Brown and new labour has touched that has turned out to be successful.<br />
I have just read that our deficit is almost reaching 7% GDP translated this means they have borrowed over 90 billion pounds which is increasing by the minute.This figure is almost as bad as when Dennis Healey had to ask the IMF to bail us out.<br />
With up to 2 years still to go before the next election Gordon Brown&#8217;s new labour will have surpassed even Dennis Healey&#8217;s deficit.<br />
There has never ever been a labour government that has left office with the economy in better shape than when they took up office.<br />
Gordon Brown is not going to buck the trend.<br />
Lets hope that he is replaced before the next election and the new Prime Minister calls a snap election to gain a mandate to govern.<br />
This is our only hope for the start of a rescue of our economy and all that goes with it like housing, national health service and education.<br />
What a shambles!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">Gordon Brown must be sorry for ever dreaming that one day &#8220;he who would be king&#8221; would be Prime Minsiter.<br />
I can never remember the country and economy being in such a bad way.<br />
So much for his good stewardship of the economy over the past ten years. If the economy was in such good shape why has it folded like a pack of playing cards since Gordon has been in the hot seat?<br />
The truth is that he had been very lucky over the years he was at number two, when the world&#8217;s economy was booming. He didn&#8217;t need to do anything, it was all done for him by the other players.<br />
Now it it clear he hasn&#8217;t got a clue, character or temperament to be leading this country.<br />
I say do the brave thing and call a general election now before things get any worse. At least he will be remembered as being brave.<br />
This is wishful thinking as he will hold on with his fragmented finger nails to the last possible minute.<br />
I can not remember a worse Prime Minister and that includes John Major. And that&#8217;s saying something!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US"><img border="1" align="middle" width="180" src="http://www.londonblacktaxis.net/blog/wp-admin/images/arch.jpg" alt="Dr Rowan Williams" height="180" /> </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US"><img border="0" align="middle" width="1" src="http:/www.londonblacktaxis.net/blog/wp-admin/images/drrowanwilliams.jpg" alt="Dr Rowan Williams" height="1" /><img border="0" align="middle" width="1" src="http:/www.londonblacktaxis.net/blog/wp-admin/images/archbishopofcanterbury.jpg.jpg" alt="Dr Rowan Wiliams" height="1" /></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">Not a day goes by without some mention of the recent comments of the current Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, and his view that Islamic law will eventually be recognized in Britain.<br />
If Dr Williams did actually say this, and there is some small doubt about this, then he needs to put his hands up and admit he has made a huge error of judgment.<br />
Before going any further perhaps he would be wiser to stick more closely to what he should be doing and stop meddling in matters which do not concern him i.e. “Politics”. <br />
Recently, I have been reading about Sharia law as practiced by the Saudi’s. It is extremely barbaric and firmly stuck in the Middle Ages.<br />
I have just read an article in the Times describing how “Sandy<span style="color: black"> Mitchell”, a Briton was condemned to death in Saudi Arabia on trumped-up charges. It revealed that he was sentenced to partial beheading and then crucifixion.  He was told by his Saudi lawyer that the sentence called for the victim’s head to be “partially” severed and the body fixed to an X-shaped cross in public view for three days. Mitchell was one of six Britons arrested in Riyadh after a series of bomb attacks on westerners three years ago.<br />
They were released last month after interventions by the British government and the Prince of Wales.<br />
Speaking for the first time since his release, Mitchell, 44, said yesterday that he was tortured into confessing crimes that he had not committed. Mitchell said he was forced to stand for nine days, chained with his hands above his head and prevented from sleeping. Each night he was tethered hand and foot and suspended with a metal bar behind his legs to expose his buttocks and the soles of his feet. He was beaten with an axe handle until he gave the “right” answer.<br />
To read more click on this link:-</span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'" lang="EN-US"><a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article1156275.ece"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'"><font color="#0000ff">http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article1156275.ece</font></span></a>. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US"><br />
Is this the sort of barbaric law and punishment we want to see in Britain?</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'" lang="EN-US"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">I know this is an extreme example but the general public should be made aware of what could happen if Sharia law was allowed to be practiced here and its sentences carried out.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'" lang="EN-US"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US"><br />
At the moment both Jews and Muslims are able to seek justice through their own religious courts but at all times British law takes precedent.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'" lang="EN-US"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US"><br />
There seems to be one law for the rich and one law for the poor. Now Dr Williams wants to add Sharia Law as well. This is yet another nail in the coffin for the British people who have had to suffer a dilution of essential services.<br />
The quality and availability of the Health Service, Education, Law and Order, Transport and Policing in this country at the hands of New Labour for the last ten years have all been diminished.<br />
The cost of living is rising several times faster than the “official rate of inflation”.<br />
What is wrong with the saying “When in Rome do as the Romans”?<br />
If we emigrated to another country we would be expected to fit into their society and would not be allowed to take it over.<br />
There is no way in a million years that another country would tolerate a dilution of its identity and the adoption of foreign ideals and institutions. Yet this is what is being done and proposed in Britain.<br />
Political correctness is out of control and it’s time to put an end to the “Human Rights Act”.<br />
Let’s get out of Europe and once again stand tall and be counted on the world stage. I can’t see it happening in my life time if ever at all.<br />
Too much damage has already been done by Tony Blair and the Labour government.<br />
Unfortunately, and sadly Britain is a shadow of its former self.<br />
Is it no wonder that more Britons are leaving the country than people coming to live here?</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'" lang="EN-US"><br />
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">If this trend continues and there is no reason for it to slow down or stop without a major sea change then the Archbishop of Canterbury will have been proven right.</span></span></p>

<p></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">Some good news re the London Mayoral election. It has been reported that Ken has been seen apparently under the influence of alcohol at the recent World Economic Summit in </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'">Davos. <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">The incident in Davos came after a Channel 4 Dispatches programme showed Mr Livingstone drinking whisky in London’s City Hall at 10am. He is also alleged to have been seen drinking an &#8220;amber liquid&#8221; at a session with voters in Ilford. <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">One Cabinet source said: &#8220;We are worried about the reports of Ken drinking too much. If we lost London it would be a political disaster. And Gordon knows that.&#8221; <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">The contest is seen as vital not just for deciding which party controls London, but as a mid-term psychological test for Gordon Brown. <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">Boris Johnson, the Tory MP for Henley and Daily Telegraph columnist, topped the last opinion poll. <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">Boris has recently been making friendly overtures to the licensed London taxi trade and has been interviewed by the LCDC ltd, which in my view is the only true voice for London’s licensed taxi drivers. <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">Let’s hope that Ken will continue with and increase his penchant for the hard stuff and that Boris goes on to become the next Mayor of London. <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">Asked on LBC Radio recently about claims that he often took a glass of whisky into meetings, Mr Livingstone joked: &#8220;Well I&#8217;m concerned about the amount I&#8217;m drinking because it&#8217;s nothing like enough.&#8221; <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US"><br />
I’ll drink to that!</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">Every single day brings new<strong> </strong>revelations<strong> </strong>about sleaze in Politics. <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">Most of the current bad press has been aimed at New Labour and has done irreparable damage. <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">Now New Labour is hitting back and exposing Conservative sleaze. <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">It’s always been present but it seems the longer a party is in power the greater the abuse of power and privileges. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US"></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">It’s sickening. <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">Why can’t politicians do an honest day’s work and be exposed to the same employment conditions as everyone else. <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">It’s time to put a stop to Politicians abuse of special allowances and let them try and live on their basic pay like everyone else.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">I get the distinct impression that the majority of people in England are absolutely fed up with politics and especially Gordon Brown and the Labour Government. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">As a Chancellor of the Exchequer he was almost bearable but as Prime Minster he is appalling. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">He just doesn’t seem right for the job and no one now believes a word he or his cronies say. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">We are supposed to be living in a democracy but politicians do whatever they like regardless of public opinion. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">There’s no need to list the multitude of unpopular decisions made by Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and the government. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">However, it is worth mentioning the war in Iraq. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">I didn’t meet one person who was in favour of this illegal war, except it must be said for a group of “gung ho” US marines who couldn’t wait to fight another war. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">Public opinion was hugely against the war and ordinary people demonstrated on the streets of London against it. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">The only other time I witnessed such a public outcry was against the Poll Tax imposed by Margaret Thatcher.  </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">The Poll Tax was reversed but the war in Iraq goes on. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">There is so much social injustice and poverty in this country. It is a criminal act of the highest order to be spending huge amounts of money on this illegal war. <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">The country just can’t afford it. <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">Our armed forces have had their budgets cut year on year and they are still expected to operate as if we were a major force in the world. Equipment, living conditions and pay are all below the levels that they should be. Is it no wonder morale is at an all time low? </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">It is symptomatic of the Governments bad management and its disdain for the electorate. <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">Education, health, policing and social order have all suffered at the hands of New Labour. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">Taxes are at an all time high and the cost of living is punitive. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">Government&#8217;s handling of personal information cannot be trusted with the massive security leaks being announced daily. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">And yet Gordon Brown insists on moving ahead with Identity Cards. He must be having a laugh.<o:p></o:p></span>  <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">We are being denied a vote on whether to accept the EU&#8217;s new constitution and now even MP&#8217;s are being denied a proper debate on the this incredibly important treaty. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">Gradually, bit by bit all our rights and decisions are being made for us in Brussels by faceless men and women unelected by the British electorate. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'" lang="EN-US">I say enough is enough and there should now be an immediate election so that the British people can decide who they want to run this country and whether to cow tow to the faceless bureaucrats of Brussels.</span></p>
