Smooth Operator 10 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Apparently taxi drivers in Gateshead cannot decorate their taxi's with xmas themed decorations for fear of offending the large Jewish population on the wrong side of the Tyne. For fucking hell's sake! So next time one of them struts down the street wearing a kippa (those daft hats they wear), i'll kindly ask them to remove as I am offended by it's religious intent! I had the misfortune to work in Gateshead for a couple of years in the heart of the Jewish "settlement" and there are indeed thousands of them!

BlueStar 0 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 (edited) Bearing in mind most of these word of mouth "'They' have banned *****" turn out to be nonsense, I'll take it with a pinch of salt. Who's stopping them? The taxi companies? Which ones? Did they say it was because of Jews? Edited December 15, 2005 by BlueStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smooth Operator 10 Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 A lass was on the radio this morning saying her bloke was a taxi driver in Gateshead and he wasn't allowed to hang tinsel in his car, iirc she said it was the same last year. I'd imagine Dean's taxi firm would be hit by this ban as it's the biggest in Gateshead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Holocaust deny-er tbh. ps those hats are shit mind. 68310[/snapback] I still can't believe I live in a country where it's illegal to question the number of people who died in the holocaust, fucking rediculous.

The connection is simply that tinsel is a christmas related decoration and they take offence to it. This wife was also on about the taxi drivers being asked not to refer to Christmas but to say festive period instead! Basically not specify the particular occasion, so next time Ramadam comes round I expect not to hear a peep out of the Jews then?????
