Senile old prick. Are all taxi drivers Bangladeshi then?

It's very offensive and I am surprised he hasn't been pulled up for it

He did, much worse in fact, and the internet probably did melt.

I think that Drakeford is trying to make the distinction between complete opposites, socially, economically and ethnically. I don't know why he decided to say what he said, it's clumsy, although the point (if i'm reading it correctly) is that decisions made for the benefit of one group have to be fair to everyone, including Bangladeshi cab drivers in his constituency.

What would Drakeford have said If the farming subsidies had been under the control of the UK Government and Boris had made the same sort of quote,mentioning, say English taxi drivers in Liverpool?

So you’ve called someone a senile old prick then have the nerve to say his remark was offensive? Words fail me.

Actually, it was that nice man from the Yellow Pages adverts back in the day (who I'm strongly suspecting is not the same person but a clever Multi) wot said it!



Edit: wrote it. The man in the Yellow Pages ads never said that kind of thing. That mean JR Hartley poster, he's ruthless I tell you.

Drakeford is a knackered old horse , he needs to be taken down the road

which I think deserves people's wrath too. I'd do it myself but I've already got my work cut out with JR.
