Does the woman need a taxi licence?

Someone wrote a good opinion piece in the newspaper the other day.  She made the point that women already know they're oppressed and under-represented in the workplace and they don't need reminding.  International Woman's Day should really be for men to take time to think about their behaviours and attitudes towards women.

You cannot only employ Gays Muslims West africans but you can restrict your employees to Vulva Only .I wonder If I signed up Said I am a Woman would they be willing to go to court to deny me  as identifying as a Female .Great opportunity for any New Union to take them on .Excluding Licenced taxi drivers from access to work ?

Anywaysanall, erm... Do you remember the pink app... was that restricted to homosexuals? Then there's Hola, pretty much restricted to the Indian ex-pat (or now Pat depending on how you look at it) community. I think cab:app was whites only...

They'll be offering free Ferrero Rocher next.

Why have Free Now offered women drivers? it's discriminatory for a start, add in the obvious fact that they have very little trust in the Garda vetting system, which allows potential rapists pay Free Now massive commission. They in turn will say that it's not within their remit to vet drivers.

Nah, there was a split and they set up Hen House Hackneys...

I did advise the Coop not to egg them on but, you know how it goes, too many cooks spoil the omelette!

Would they consider any cunt that can't parallel park?

Either way, you're getting nowhere near any of those targets without paying 25% commission.

International Women's Day was on Sunday.

I deliberately stayed off the road knowing they be out in numbers:
