Rapist taxi driver keeps licence. (Mind you, he's in jail, I don't know how he's going to drive anyone anywhere.)

the backlash has thrown the local authority into chaos. The matter will now be reconsidered by all councillors, mandatory legal training is being rolled out across the local authority, and some of the politicians who originally voted to let Brown keep the licence are now facing potential votes of no confidence.

I don’t think it’s legal training that’s lacking here. Is there a course which can remediate shit-for-brains?

Before anyone has a heart attack, the decision is apparently getting reviewed. https://www.phtm.co.uk/news/8998/phtm-news/highland-council-scrambles-to-overturn-decision-letting-jailed-rapist-keep-operators-licence

But it was made in the first place, and voted for as in the original picture. As we often say on here, WTF is wrong with men?

Edited to add, from the second article, "The council has refused to explain the reasoning behind the original vote".

HIGHLAND COUNCIL SCRAMBLES TO OVERTURN DECISION LETTING JAILED RAPIST KEEP OPERATOR'S LICENCE

The Highland Council is rushing to revisit a highly controversial decision that allowed convicted rapist David Brown to keep his operator's licence, despite him recently being sentenced to nearly seven years in prison.

WTF?!?!

FFS.

It's not all men - but it's always the men. Always. 🤬

This must be a wind up? Please?

This has shocked me. Not that these six individuals see nothing wrong with approving a rapist to go on accessing lone women to rape. But that they've done it publicly. So glad their names and faces are out there. That poster really says it all.

Whats wrong with those 6 men? Why do they think a convicted rapist is a suitable person to keep this licence?! Wow. Just wow. Why bother having the licence at all?! 🤮

We really need to start testing any one who runs for public office. Minimum IQ for starters.

EDIT Highland licensing committee voted in private last week
This needs to be stopped as well. There was no need for it to be private.
