Yesterday at Westminster Magistrates Court, this driver was successfully prosecuted under Section 170 of the Equality Act (2010) for failing to carry a passenger as a direct result of me being accompanied by my assistance dog.
He was ordered to pay:
● A fine of £850, the max is £1,000 for this offence so a massive fine in this context
● £788 Court costs to
@TfL
for bringing the case forward to Court
● £85 Victim Surcharge
● Total of £1,723 to paid within 28 days, a collection order by the Court
This was a fantastic and just result for myself. These incidents are horrible to deal with emotionally when you know you are being discriminated against. I would like to thank
@TfL
for their support in bringing the driver to justice.
A special tribute this afternoon from the

@EmiratesFACup
- First Round Qualifying tie at home at Mill Road against

.
Can it be third time lucky for me to finally see a Barum win? Would be a great birthday present!
@Ollie_Bayliss
Fingers crossed sport remains untouched. I feel as though it is far safer than going to the pubs or shopping etc. Social distancing can easily be managed at non-league level. I would be alright with the pubs and cakes closing for a few weeks as long as sport remains!
Following yesterday's overall successful cataract surgery I would love to thank all the staff at
@Moorfields
who cared for me including the nurses and Dr Clarke who performed the surgery.
My vision is so much clearer its amazing & I'm still processing it all. I'm so grateful 💙
As a
@hemelfc
fan watching the LIVE stream of tonight's FA Trophy game, I must applaud
@bromleyfc
for what was an excellent quality stream and coverage with great camera angles and replays of key moments with totally unbiased commentary.
Good luck to them in the next round.
Absolutely heartbreaking news to hear of the passing of former
@hemelfc
player Spencer McCall, genuinely can't think straight after finding out.
An amazing young guy who was determined to beat his rare form of bone cancer Ewings Sarcoma. Taken from this world far too early 😭❤
I would just like to say a big thank you to
@maidstoneunited
and their stewards, one in particular for looking after me in the away section when I travelled down for the game on Tuesday night with
@hemelfc
.
Would like to thank Debbie and everyone at
@MetPoliceFC
who looked after me so well tonight and made me feel very welcome on my travels to watch
@KLFCofficial
, absolutely first class and lovely little club, they certainly know how to look after disabled supporters.
I really enjoyed it tonight, a fantastic atmosphere and a really good little set up here. Thank you to
@LeightonTownFC
for accommodating myself and guide dog
#Sid
. Also thank you to the young lad who let me have a go on the drum in the second half too! 😃
Sid and I will always show our support for The Tudors. It's not looking good and it's hard times right now but we support

through the good times and the tough times! It's still early days and we keep the faith 🙏

Dave Boggins is a fantastic Chairman for the club and has done wonders for fans like myself and for players who have come and gone. Managers, players and staff all come and go but Dave has been a constant for 20 years and counting. He is the bedrock of our football club 🔴⚪
I cannot thank my local football club

Other clubs needs to take note and learn how to operate in this way ⚽️
Hemel Hempstead Town football club wish to carry on playing football. Having had to balance our books after the first lockdown we made sure we did NOT over budget for this season. Having said that I know our squad would play for nothing for a month or two if asked. Sport England
