Erm - you missed the point. The LDA are only extending this extra funding and support to ethnic minorities. It's that that's annoying the cabbies. They argue equality for all.
And seriously, what woman would want to be a cabby in London, I've had enough harrass and abuse me just being a passenger, it's another sacred WASPM club.

It's a badly worded article:
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.
The second paragraph (as I read it) did not imply that the treatment was only to the women and ethnic minorities, it just says that they are offering support for people taking the Knowledge.
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.
