A paranoid schizophrenic who strangled his wife has been given permission to study as a London black cab driver. The move to allow the wife strangler to drive black cabs has angered other drives who say this will affect their integrity.
But, I’m sure the most angry people will be the London cab users, angry at the officials for allowing murderers to drive taxis.
The wife killer was jailed indefinitely under the Mental Health Act in 2001 but was released in 2003.
He has been passed fit to study for the “Knowledge” following psychiatric tests. He is reported to have already been granted a Private Hire Licence.
Allowing murderers to drive black cabs or any other taxi service in London is surely not a wise idea and this exposes members of the public to great danger. This drive will be picking up vulnerable passengers….no wonder women are murdered by taxi drivers. What else can you expect when officials allow murderers to drive public transport?
So, the psychiatrists are so sure this man will not kill again? God help us!
One wonders how many more murderers, rapists and other criminals are driving the black cabs in London. And we thought they are subject to police checks, and also that criminals, especially murderers are not allowed to work with vulnerable people.

You see all, Berwick has set a standard, murder your missus and hit the road!, however at least this criminal is going for a real Taxi Badge!!!!
Hey folks, you don’t think Dave Wilson has got himself a Job in London?, and that could be the reason this Nutter is on the road!
