Mum's Pink Taxi Firm With All-Women Drivers Fights Back Against Bradford’s Predatory Cabbies. A determined mum has launched a fleet of pink taxis driven exclusively by women to give girls and women a safer way home, after years of chilling reports of sexual assaults and rapes by male taxi and private-hire drivers in Bradford. Amberine Nawaz, a mother-of-two, set up Pink Ladies after becoming terrified for her own daughter’s safety whenever she had to travel alone in a regular cab. The firm, which began in Skipton and expanded into Bradford, puts female drivers behind the wheel of distinctive bright-pink cars. Drivers wait outside until every passenger is safely through their front door. "Safety is paramount," Nawaz has said. "We get a lot of customers who get into the car and say how great it is to have a female driver because they may have had a bad experience." One parent who regularly books the service for her teenage daughter was more direct: "You never know what’s going to happen these days. At least with a female driver we know she’ll get home safe. It’s the only reason we let her take the late-night job." Official West Yorkshire Police figures obtained under Freedom of Information laws show a disturbing pattern of offences linked to taxi, private-hire and mini-cab drivers in Bradford. In 2023/2024 alone, police recorded 17 rapes and 9 sexual assaults where a taxi or private-hire driver was the suspect and the offence was connected to the journey or vehicle. Earlier figures recorded 20 rapes and 10 sexual assaults in 2021/2022, and 12 rapes plus 2 sexual assaults in 2022/2023. These are not abstract numbers. Women have described drivers making unwanted advances, placing hands on their legs, or even worse. Nawaz has heard the stories first-hand. One passenger told of a driver inviting her to sit in the front because the heating’s better before touching her. Another spoke of a relative being beaten up. The pink cars and all-female crews are designed to remove that risk. Behind the statistics lie real cases that have shocked the city. Bradford taxi driver Assad Khan was jailed for nine years in 2023 after he drove an intoxicated woman home, barged into her house and raped her while she was almost unconscious on the sofa. He also used her bank card to steal £250. The victim called him an utterly selfish and repugnant human being. The judge said he had abused his position of trust with criminal guile. In another case, Bradford driver Farooq Ahmed was jailed after sexually assaulting a vulnerable and distressed woman passenger he had picked up in the city centre in the early hours, leaving her so terrified she never got into a taxi again. Nawaz has faced pushback from male drivers who claimed she was stealing their business. Her reply has been simple, the goal is to make sure wives, sisters and daughters can get home safely. She has also created flexible work for other women, including from ethnic minority communities in Bradford, in an industry that remains overwhelmingly male. Pink Ladies does not claim to solve every problem in the taxi trade. Licensing, background checks and proper policing remain essential. But for many women in area the simple presence of a female driver in a clearly marked pink car offers something the standard system has repeatedly failed to guarantee: the chance to get home safely. Nawaz has said it is "unfortunate that we’re in the 21st century and there is a need." But the figures and court cases explain why that need is being met with pink paint, female drivers, and a firm commitment to wait until every passenger is safely inside. #UKNews #CrimeNews #Bradford

Imagine thinking that saying men can’t be trusted to stay out of women’s private spaces, where they’re not permitted, is a good argument to let them in. Dipshits.

The Key Club live music venue in Leeds is openly defying the Supreme Court ruling that sex in the Equality Act means biological sex. Single sex toilets must stay single sex, women + girls need genuine female only spaces for their safety + privacy. Go tell them what you think

My ex-booking agent @MidnightMango appears to be suffering from rapid onset dementia. 2023: “Our position as a company is clear - trans women are women.” 2026: “We do believe women are adult females.” Get well soon, Matt. Memory’s gone to absolute shit.

They are trying to condition everyone else to fear being seen enjoying your work. That is why they follow you into old performances, unrelated posts and every space where the music might still be encountered on its own terms. Cancellation is not criticism. Criticism addresses an idea. Cancellation contaminates the atmosphere around a person until admiration itself feels socially dangerous. These fuckwits can vandalise the comments. They cannot vandalise the music. It was great then, it is great now, and nothing they do will change that ☝🏻 ps: This was the first thing I saw when I opened Instagram this morning. I still can’t help singing along and of course I couldn’t resist leaving a comment ♥️

Sorry you’re dealing with this, Róisín. I hope you’re okay. They use the exact same swarming tactics on me. One man in particular constantly hijacks every thread about me with his anon accounts, smearing me to any sad-act loser hater that’ll listen and deliberately trying to create that climate of fear around me and my work. His fake accounts just keep coming, I’ve counted over 50 so far. He must spend all day searching my name coz he even views my stories within minutes of me posting them, any time of day or night. I’ve spent today blocking yet more of them. It’s genuinely disturbing obsessive fixated behaviour...

Wanna see cancel culture in action? Look at the comments, the swarming, deliberately creating a climate of fear around me and my work. There are a few thousand of these totalitarian culture killers and this is exactly how they do it. instagram.com/p/DbWB9vpFYoY/…

Can you imagine what would happen if women marched with signs saying this about trans identifying people? I have no idea why this threatening vile misogynistic behaviour is tolerated by authorities against women?

The whole world should see this raging misogynist creep from London Pride, and understand that he perfectly exemplifies the trans activism movement. These men call for our deaths. Nothing happens. If we dare to call them men, though, we are punished for years on end.

‘Tolerance’ in the UK 🇬🇧 @ThePosieParker

Women: "We don't want to undress in front of men." The men: "You should be gassed to death, like pigs." Disgusting cowards: "Both sides are toxic."

Day 2 of trying to stop children having their puberty blocked by the UK government.

@LucyTCWife Last year I was charged in a hurty words case. I pleaded not guilty and the case collapsed before it got to trial when the CPS admitted they had zero evidence and couldn’t corroborate a single word of the witness statements against me. Still traumatised tbh...

Is it finally socially acceptable to say transgenderism is a mental illness?

Dear @YvetteCooperMP, Keira Bell and I commenced litigation against your predecessor to stop the abhorrent puberty blockers trial. As new Health Secretary, do the right thing and pull the plug before more vulnerable children are harmed. If not, we’ll be seeing you in Court.
