I kind of wish they were upfront about their prejudices and put stickers on the cabs... something like "No EU nationals need to bother taking this cab".
    You blew his little prejudice mind away. I hope you didn't tip him.

    Lily Allen says taxi driver refused to driver and told her to 'find an immigrant'

    Lily Allen said she has had a "glimpse of what it feels like to be discriminated against" after being shunned by a taxi driver.

    The London-born pop star said she was turned away from a black cab after being told to "find an immigrant" to give her and her daughters a ride.

    The alleged interaction between Allen and the unknown taxi driver comes after she apologised "on behalf of my country" after seeing the squalid conditions refugees had lived in at the Calais camp known as the Jungle.
    Must be the cabbie with his own paid off house and two BTL properties that I was having a chat with recently on my way to the airport... But no, that couldn't have been him. He didn't have a problem with Brexit ;-)
