Dear reader,
London's marxist mayor, Ken Livingston seeks to down grade the quality of the world renowned London cabbie by making it easier for non whites to pass the rigourous examination process known as The Knowledge. Various forms of financial funding are in the pipeline such as school fees, free motorbikes and running costs etc will be dolled out with the usual gusto to anyone who isnt White/British.
Trust me when I say I have researched this subject for some time as rumours of it have circulated for the last 12 months and it now appears to be nearing fruition. This is a concern close to myself as I am currently approaching the end (I hope) of my time on the Knowledge and can confirm it is by far the most difficult task I have ever attempted. Please do not misunderstand me, I do not have a problem with any person of any race studying the knowledge and becoming a cabbie but making it easier for some will only water down the calibre of the said cabbie. I have been studying the 'K' for over 2 years now averaging 70 hours a week on my studies to crack this nut in the fastest time I can. The drop out rate for K students is 80%, due to the difficultness of the task and the interferance it can cause with family or social life and can take students 6 or 7 years to complete part time. This is why the end product, the cabbie, is one who has really earned his salt, is an extremely skilled worker who takes pride in what he has achieved and his job also. People coming in fast tracked the easy way wont have these same feelings for the job and no longer will the world cab trade look at London as the pinnacle of expertise.
I would have thought this is something to hold onto. Positive discrimination only causes friction in society against the people it is supposed to benefit. Especially as it always seems to go one way. To my knowledge there are no schemes trying to intice white British people into becoming traffic wardens!
