I tend to agree with your thoughts on this. And regardless of the type of weapon used, it seems that in “Violent Britain”, brutal aggression is an acceptable recourse if the person metering it out believes that the victim has in some way shown him disrespect. Add to this the government’s desire to befriend and to assist the criminals in going about their business, it makes me think that this taxi driver will receive a fine and non-custodial sentence. But we will just have to wait and see.
