A BLIND couple were “disgusted” to be turned away by a Stafford taxi driver because of their award-winning guide dog. Doreen and Ernest Dix were refused entry to a cab parked at the pick-up point behind Stafford market last week. The Great Haywood pensioners claim the driver did not want Blake, the current West Midlands guide dog of the year, in his cab. This contravenes the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 2005 and can land offenders a £1,000 fine unless they certify they have a dog allergy. Mrs Dix, 71, said this was the first time her golden retriever-labrador cross had been rejected from a taxi. She said: “I can barely see, but saw the driver wave his hands and say ‘no, no, no’ as we approached his cab. “We were both very upset and were made to feel really small, but just got the next taxi in the end. “We’re moving to Stafford soon and this is a very poor start indeed.” Eight-two-year-old Mr Dix, whose eyesight is worse than his wife’s, was “appalled” by the driver’s behaviour. He said: “I’ve been registered blind for 28 years and have never been discriminated against by a taxi driver before this. “If he isn’t willing to pick up certain people, then he shouldn’t be in a queue of taxis earmarked for shoppers. “The driver we eventually used agreed it was appalling it made me feel like a second-class citizen.” Seven-year-old Blake won his award last year in recognition of loyal service to his owners. Mrs Dix told the Newsletter how clever Blake is. She said: “If you get off the bus and say ‘take us to the bank’, he’ll guide you straight there. “He then knows to wait in the queue until a cashier calls you over. He’s as good as gold.” In recent years, there have been reports of Muslim drivers refusing the blind due to their doctrine’s assertion that dogs are unclean. However, the DDA does not consider this an excuse. Mr and Mrs Dix do not know the name of the driver or firm involved. http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/11/uk-muslim-cab-driver-refuses-blind-couple-with-guide-dog.html |

It's disgraceful. This is happening in Australia too. We have had quite a few instances of muslim cab drivers refusing to allow guide dogs into their taxis. |

This kind of behaviour makes me sick to my stomach, this crap of an excuse about dogs being unclean is just another one of their attempts to challenge our Laws in order to impose theirs. |

I choose my taxi drivers carefully these days, have done for a while I suppose & it's all about my personal choice, & part of that is I don't have to give any reason at all for choosing to take the next cab off the rank & it could just be the guy has BO; I'm not legally obligated to inform him of my decision either, my choice. But onto the topic, it's just wrong, what if you are a (political) Muslim postman & enroute is a Jewish owned Kennels? are you allowed to refuse to deliver, horse sh1t! |

If he can't prove he has a dog allergy he should be stripped of his operators licence.That would act as a deterrent against other idiots who try imposing their arcane religous views on uis. |

Years ago I worked for a police force, (not in the police force). A copper once told me about Muslim cab drivers whose licence plates were stuck on with velcro. This was so the friends and relatives could use their own cars with the place. After that, when I travelled about I used to give the plates a little tug. If they were just stuck on, I took them off and chucked 'em down a drain. It gave me a lot of pleasure to know that that cab driver would have to go back to the council for a new one, with an explanation. |

A good friend of mine works with blind teenagers. They have had so many problems with Muslim taxi drivers that they can now only use one cab company in the area. The taxi companies refuse to take any of the blind students. Even I have had problems with my dog in his travel case. This is a problem that our nation of Animal lovers can really unite behind. |

the driver should be prosecuted under the disability discrimination act, and anyone else that refuses to take a blind person on a bus, in a taxi, on a train .. should be sacked from their job. If they have a problem with dogs, just dont work in an environment that would increase contact with them .... I also boycott Moslim business' .... |

i guess if they had had a guide horse (see blind student thread), there would have been no problem having the horse in the taxi. idiotic. |

I "never" buy from or use muslim businesses or services, that is my choice and have not done so for many years. I used to love to go to Sunday Markets but don't go any more as I cannot buy anything because of my principals and beliefs !!! Next to no English traders left at them any more so just don't go !. I don't even buy cheap alcohol off them, would sooner go to a Supermarket and pay extra, at least the Supermarket have paid their tax on the alcohol and not smuggled it in from France !. |

I dont believe he has a dog allergy. Sorry, I just dont. This is discrimination against the disabled and he should be stripped of his license. simple as that |
