    Many Uber drivers in London are Muslim, a few are potential terrorists.

    Why do you suppose it's only a few?

    This is the type of tyranny that caused the Colonists to give you the one fingered salute 241 years ago. Didn't you learn from that?

    Was Uber around in 1776? There has been a spate of sexual attacks by Uber drivers, TfL are sending a shot across their bows and telling them to clean up their act.

    So? Require background checks on the drivers. This heavy handedness is why we kicked your ass back then.

    I haven't made any comment about this, just reporting facts. My sons use Uber all the time in London, as a matter of fact. I notice that you haven't expressed any concern for the large number of sexual attacks, including rapes, by Uber drivers. Why is that then, don't you care about them?
