Lammy taxi driver not guilty, France doesn't believe Lammy
Discussion
Something odd here. Why was Lammy carrying significant cash in a bag on a 5,000 Euro taxi ride?
Don't think the taxi driver liked Lammy and the French judge didn't either. Who would have thought it, lol.

It is a fantastically bonkers story.
A 370 mile taxi ride!
This man was foreign secretary at the time.
The Sun report has so many WTAF details I had to read it through a few times. It reads like something out of Planes, trains and automobiles:
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/37203639/taxi-driver...
“When he [Lammy] got out of the vehicle, he said, ‘f***ing French, f***ing French’. I was afraid.” (Now imagine that in a Steve Martin accent)
“He claimed that while he did drive off with the couple’s suitcase and their cash he never intentionally left the scene knowing he still had their belongings.”
“ Mimun claimed that Green began screaming at him after saying she wanted to sit in the front during the 362 mile overnight trip.
She “had a crazy meltdown” and tried to open the door on the motorway during a row over the taxi fare, a French court heard.”
Wonderfully mad.

It was a prepaid taxi ride, and the driver started demanding more money in cash. The driver then left with their luggage including cash and passports, which he later dropped off with the police. The taxi company then sacked the driver and the driver was charged.
Regardless of the driver not being found guilty that doesn't make his actions and less wrong, nor does it make Lammy at fault. Lammy had a taxi booked, and the taxi driver tried to shake him down for more cash.

You're believing the taxi drivers version of the events? There was no extra fare to be paid in the first place. The driver was sacked, and charged by the police!A 370 mile taxi ride!

Why was he carrying a gun, well at least a holster?
Much as I can't stand Lammy, I can't believe he has ever been in possession of a firearm.Not the least because within 10 minutes of taking said possession he would have inevitably have blown off both of his big toes and at least one of his testicles, and happily as far as I am aware he had never suffered injuries of this type.

Don t get me wrong: I have no belief that the Taxi driver was telling the truth and I am absolutely sure the Foreign Secretary as was was perfectly innocent, despite the taxi driver also having been found innocent.

He was in Italy officially as part of the King’s official state visit… as one of the top 3 ministers of the crown.
2 days later he is having a basil fawlty moment with ‘holsters’, partner attempting to throw herself out of a car, and a random taxi driver driving off with his possessions and a code locked briefcase.
