It's a bit clearer here.
The noise has stopped now - hopefully the press today's stunt will generate will start a reasoned debate.

No idea why you need "The Knowledge" when you have "The Technology"

Cab drivers have protested against plans to give help to women and ethnic minorities entering the profession.
They said moves to offer language, numeracy and childcare support for those taking the Knowledge exam was preferential treatment.
If the protest is that the support should be offered to everyone rather than just a few, then I'll take back my original post and I'm in favour. I had assumed that they were protesting because support was now being offered (to everyone) and they'd had to do without.

Cabbies are protesting because the LDA wants to help more people get into that profession. Maybe IT contractors should all be picketing universities because they are helping other people gain entry into the profession by providing subsidised training that we would have to pay for to do it ourselves.
Get a grip.

And I applauded them - as are others - the numpties in the LDA building are just standing around at the windows, pointing. In an effort to be 'pro equality' old Ken ends up fostering racism.
