bbc said:
A killer who was allowed to study to become a black cab driver on his release is working as a minicab driver, Transport for London (TfL) confirmed.
The man, who cannot be named, strangled his wife in 2000 and was jailed indefinitely for manslaughter in 2001.
Hundreds of cabbies have blocked streets outside the public carriage office in protest over the decision to allow him to take the black taxi exams.
TfL stressed that "clear safeguards" are in place over the driver's work.
The hour-long demonstration by cab drivers led to long queues along the A1 and A401, in north London.
The man, 38, who was detained under the Mental Health Act, was released after the parole board assessed he was no longer a risk to society, which left him free to pursue work.
The decision to allow him to take the exams was also scrutinised by two independent reviewers.

So you now need to be checked by the government before you can give your kid's friends a lift to a kids football match, but they can all hop in a cab with a convicted murderer without any cause for alarm from the guberment . . . . . . . . . . The goons are alive and well and working with the Marx brothers on governement policy and its application
