The story irritates me as the comments are all assuming the taxi driver was a muslim man and questioning whether he'd have kicked her out if she was 'one of theirs'.

I think it can't have been such a terrible situation for her to ask the driver to take her home rather than the hospital. If she HADN'T got a cab in the first place then the baby would still have made an appearance whilst she was walking home, so she'd have still been in the same situation.

Yes it may be 'mean' and 'cruel' for a taxi driver to ask her to get out of the taxi, but I imagine they'd have still complained about paying the soiling fee if she'd have carried on, saying that was heartless and inappropriate etc etc.

Baby is well and good, driver has just been a bit inhumane, but that's life. Nothing would come out of him stepping forward into the public eye so is there really any point?
