Yet another man who has a set of nipple clamps a small package and a job that allows him to compensate in some small way for being useless in bed.

A Scarborough taxi driver and councillor is fighting back after being told to take
England flags off his cab.
Cllr
Andrew Jenkinson, who represents Newby ward, decked out his taxi in red
and white to support England in the Euro 2012 Championships.
But
after a conversation with the council’s licensing office, Cllr Jenkinson
received a letter stating he was breaking the Taxi and Private Hire
Policy.
The letter ends: “I trust that you will comply by removing any flags from your hire vehicle.”
Cllr
Jenkinson said: “It think it’s absolutely ridiculous and everyone I’ve
spoken to backs me 100 per cent. I should be able to fly flags when
England are playing. I’m not wanting to do it on a permanent basis.
“There has to be a bit of give and take. I just want to show I’m proud of my country.”
The
letter said that the issue had been raised two years ago and it was
decided not to allow the display of flags attached to vehicle windows.
It states: “As with all aspects of Taxi and Private Hire Licensing, the
primary concern is the safety of the travelling public and it was
considered that this was not safe practice.”
Andy Skelton, head of
environmental services, said: “As a council we are very much in favour
of our residents showing their patriotism. “
But he added: “If we
allow flags of our own nationality to be flown then we would quickly get
to a situation where drivers might think they can display the flags of
other nations or show political affiliations and allegiances and this is
something that may cause offence to some people.”
May cause offence, the term used by useless time serving jobsworths in the public sector to oppress a once free people.
