I have the right to earn a living without being put in potential danger, whatever the situation may beI agree Filo but if i were to approach you and ask for a taxi ride and said i was exempt from wearing a mask and you refused. You are breaking the law. You are perfectly entitled to refuse a drunk or someone who is being aggressive sure, but not someone on the basis that they say they are exempt from wearing a mask. I appreciate it is a very difficult situation for you.
You know it does get a liitle boring now when the same poster deems it necessary to tell is time and time again that they won't be jabbed or wear a mask or take any notice of what the requirements are. Wonder if they are also part of Extinction Rebellion or the Insulation lot please go and glue some part of your body to the road

I appreciate it is a very difficult situation for you. We are regulated by our Licensing Authourity DMBC, during the period where masks became mandatory, they sent out a directive to all taxi and private hire operators telling us that exemptions didn’t count in a licensed vehicle due to the confined space of that vehicle, we are ruled by what they say or risk a licence revoke. It was surprising during that time how many claimed exemption waving an amazon bought exemption card, selfish people! There was one incident where I pulled up at a house for the passenger to have two or three big drags on her fag before discarding it and then waving an exemtiin card claim she was exempt due to breathing problems, thats the type of people we have to deal withP.S. it would also be illegal for me to pick you up if you approached me as I would be driving a private hire vehicle, private hire are not allowed to ply for trade
I really do not get the aggressiveness of people who want to assert their right not to wear a mask.What do they gain by this insistence?

Maybe you feel threatened in some way that another person won't do as you wish and this is the reason for your expression of insecurity through the vilification of someone else? Either way. I shall not be gluing myself to any road and i also won't be partaking in any Covid restrictions. Just thought i'd remind you again.

I also take your point about the taking advantage of exemptions rule that people do do get away with not wearing masks. However, if a person has a genuine disability or impairment and they cannot wear a mask, then you cannot refuse them. It is against the Equality Act 2010 and a discriminatory act against a person with a protected characteristic. If that person is telling the truth and does have a genuine need for exemption and they decide to sue, you are in trouble. I do not believe that you have been given the correct information by the DMBC on this matter. The issue is that many people who do not have a genuine exemption try to get away with it and what i am saying is that you can refuse by all means and most will just walk away, but if you turn away someone genuine then they can commence litigation for disability discrimination under the Equality Act 2010. This is what my research has led me to believe as i am actually exempt anyway but i did wear a mask until May this year, when i decided i had enough of being lied to by the Government and had enough of seeing politicians using masks as theatre.
It is everyone’s responsibility to maintain a level of bio security that is comfortable for them. It is not their responsibility for others
You don’t half come out with random examples. Put simply, I don’t wish you any harm but couldn’t really care less if it happened. I have no responsibility for you as you have none for me. Anything otherwise is nothing but a massive guilt trip
