Only by the kangaroo court of public opinion (metaphorically speaking). Just like Emily Thornberry, Lord Freud and Myleene Klass.
Well they are all to some extent public figures (and Mellor in particular foolishly chose to remind us of it) and all put their gobs or keyboards before their brains, so it was hardly to be expected otherwise ;-)
The point is the guy has a public profile and the taxi dude doesn't, he can hardly be surprised that trying to win an argument by playing the "I'm one of the great and the good" card has resulted in a bit of unwelcome press. And I don't care which party he belongs to.
They all play the do you know who I am card even non polticians
Knowing what taxi drivers are like it was the I'm taking you the long way round to your destination card which is why the argument started in the first place
Maybe I do
But I think it is just as offensive to think that a tattooed cage fighter, who wants to bring back caning , and send them all back, represents most of the working class.
Who said he did?
She was poking fun and sneering at 'that type', she didn't know(or care) what he did or who he was.

Yes and Mellor should have stuck to the problem at hand.

Nope, Therefore nothing to see here that doesn't happen a hundred times a day with mouthy cabbies(?) and nobbish passengers up and down the country.
Somehow I doubt most nobbish passengers would complain about the taxi driver by trotting out their CV...particularly if it were likely that the press would be able to make capital out of it.

I wouldn't be so sure of that, I could tell you a particularly funny story about a wannabe pop star, a sausage dog and a particularly grumpy cabby.
Oh just about every media commentator that this was an attack on the working class.
I am working class, and I am no more personally offended by that tweet than I would be if she made fun of a Justin Bieber fan. It might not be nice what she did, but it was no attack on the working class.

Me neither but if it is damaging to Milliband and Labour I'm all for it.
David needs to be careful, cabbies were probably half of his audience!:D
He should remember that, along with hairdressers, cabbies are the ones that know how to run the Country!

It's not that long ago........maybe a couple of months ?........since Mellor was doing the rounds of the TV studios to defend some Tory who'd been accused of something
Unfortunately I can't now remember what it was about.......>:(
But he still appears to consider himself as a political player

Wonder what the taxi driver's card looked like?

Of course you don't
There must be easier ways

No, I don't.
Not for an ugly bastard like me. I can't even buy it

Sadly professional etiquette prevents me.
Such characters hardly represent the majority of taxi passengers, I sincerely hope

Most of the time yes, On the central London "executive" circuit - you would be surpised.
He forgot to mention he was a Spitting Image puppet, surely the high point of his career
Me neither but if it is damaging to Milliband and Labour I'm all for it.

Another one from the stable of that ex paragon of virtue Max Clifford
As she so succinctly put it “Screwed by Mellor, screwed by Max.”
