What was the drivers problem? I have no idea but needless to say the driver wasn't an Englishman! Bus drivers can refuse to carry a passsenger, but in this case it was totally out of order. I can tell you that if it had been me and any of my grandchildren the bus would have stayed exactly where it was until the Police arrived. B....y cheek!! |

I cannot for one minute image living in a Muslim country or any other country and telling them to take down their country's flag if they are not going to fly my country's flag as well! Or deny me access if I was wearing apparel of the country I am resident in. It's insane! At present in South Africa, never mind which country we have come from, we are expected to wear the South African T Shirt and fly the SA flag and show support for the South African team regardless of race, colour or creed!! |
