'Cabbie' dives off Tower Bridge in Olympic Lane protest

A man has dived headfirst off Tower Bridge during a protest by London taxi drivers against their ban from using Olympics Games Lanes.

The group of drivers travelled slowly across Tower Bridge, tooting their horns.

A man was arrested after jumping from the bridge into Thames.

Last week taxi drivers brought Parliament Square to a halt, claiming they should be able to use the lanes as well as officials and athletes.

have gone stupid - they are making London a bastion of idiocracy all for the sake of some silly games that when it comes down to it not that many people are interested in anymore. Londoners are not allowed here, or there, can not do this, or that, have to do this and if they don't they will be find, arrested, prosecuted - are we sure the olympics are being held in the UK or in a dictatorial country pre-WWII?
