Hullo chums. You may start to notice me being absent from Facebook. I made a joke about being gay……I am one after all, and they lumbered me with a frankly insane 29 day ban. What really takes the piss is someone posting homophobic comments remains unbanned and his comments live. I’ve reported no end of truly awful racist, homophobic and hateful content on there and so far I’ve had one taken down.

It was all just typical transport industry humour, ‘banter’ if you like, our intentions were only ever good, we set out to make people laugh, not cry. Make friends not enemies. To say I'm gutted is an understatement, I had no warning this was coming, I was just logged out & a message to say my account wa

Blindsided by some mind blowing arrogance from Facebook this evening it led to me frankly popping this video out in the fastest time ever. They have shut the incredibly popular Whites Transport Services Facebook page down with no explanation and no right to appeal.
