The unnamed driver, who had a Polish or Eastern European accent, said Dylan's white England shirt was offensive and he threatened to turf the family out on the street.

Daily Mail stirring up more racial hate! That's suprising

Daily Mail stirring up more racial hate! That's suprising

Daily Mail reporting a story about a moronic racist foreigner who should be deported.

[WOMBAI]

If true - the bus driver should be fired!

[Enid]

I doubt they're telling us the whole truth. The family look like a rowdy bunch. They were probably being morons. You don't just get kicked off a bus for wearing a t-shirt.

[Shaun]

Definitely something suspect about that story.

[InOne]

Can't imagine the a Polish guy being like that for no reason, they're usually alright.

[AJ.]

We're allowed to buy them but not wear them ... fuk right off.

This story might not be true but its supossedly illegal to wear your England shirt through Manchester town center now :?

PC is getting way outa control.

[Novo]

Should be sacked

No one has the right to tell you that you can't wear a England shirt in England

Horrible twat

Dont believe the Daily Mail/Facebook, you can wear your England shirt wherever you like

[InOne]

The thing is though, things like this do happen from time to time, and the more people brush it under the carpet the more they will get away with.

[Beastie]

Pathetic!!!!!!!! If I was in a different country.. like Poland and they were wearing "Polish" shirts I would not be offended!! As much as I am not bothered about football this is ridiculous!! <<<<<< This is however if it's true.. lol

[Zippy]

Lets not start hating foreigners just because of one alleged nutjob. He certainly wasn't acting according to any rules so there's no need to start getting paranoid about not being able to wear England shirts on buses.

These cases only make the news because they are RARE. If even true.

[Tom4784]

Don't be moronic people it's obviously not true.

[bettiepage]

disgusting.

[Vicky.]

If true - the bus driver should be fired!

Big emphasis on if...but yeah. Agreed.

That's such a vague and pointless bit of scaremongering. People aren't going to wake up in a month and find a Polish Prime Minister outlawing all mentions of St. George or Wayne Rooney.

At the very worst, this is just a lunatic bus driver who does not represent the views of a race, a nation or an ethnicity.

[CaraRawr]

If this is true, the bus driver is a harsh twat.

[Zippy]

Don't be moronic people it's obviously not true.

Says who? People act stupidly sometimes. The driver may have been having a bad day. And if he's being investigated then it must have some truth. Especially if there are witnesses.

True but it's all a bit too....off I guess. The language, the quotes. It just doesn't seem all that truthful. If this story was picked up by the broadsheets or proper paper then I'd be more inclined to believe it but it's all very suspect. Just because the tabloid is saying it's being investigated doesn't mean it is, there's been bigger lies more frequently told by tabloids.

Why would it be big news? Its just a silly little story about one stupid incident after all. If true, its just one idiots total overreaction. And he should be disciplined accordingly.

It's not a national scandal or indicitive of any great agenda. One idiot.

Who says they were? All I said was that things like this do happen from time to time and if they're handled properly it stops things like this blowing out of proportion.

This is the country that wrapped itself up in a sh*tstorm for a few months over a prank phone call. If this was true then there would be SOME mention of it elsewhere, I never said front page news but it's a topic that's guaranteed to move newspapers since it taps into immigration and such which are topics that always sell well in newspapers since people like to try and justify their hate.

It's a small story but I've seen lesser stories get more coverage in the media then this one and if it's true it's guaranteed to while people up into buying newspapers/ Checking websites ETC. The media works by scaring/enraging people into buying into the stories.

It could be true but xonsidering the newspaper it's in I doubt it.

[Zippy]

Well the paper certainly has its own agenda. But that doesn't make the story untrue. Theyre just blowing a small incident up for their own purposes.

And the prank phone call involved huge celebrities. Hence the attention.

True but then again it doesn't help it's chances of it correct either. At the end of the day though neither of us were there so we can't say for certain either way although I personally struggle to believe it played out like it was written.

i would have banned the little hooligan too

I just read this as that ^ :shocked: :joker:

[Shasown]

Does anyone know if it was this years England top or an old one. If it was an old one fair do's to the driver.

[Rob]

this is getting stupid now, we live in england for god's sake!

[Harry!]

We are in England therefore we have the right to have England T-shirts and flags where ever we want. If you do not like it - tough!

[Tom4784]

Take it with a pinch of salt guys, considering which newspaper is reporting this.

I'd bet money that it didn't happen how it's written.

[Shasown]

Ah yes but what the driver didnt realise its now being brought into a new government policy, wear another countries sports top and you dont get thrown off a bus or a train, you get deported to that country.

(Should make the Highland Clearances of Scotland of the 18th and 19th century seem next to nothing during the upcoming world cup eh?)

[Zippy]

Oh stop overreacting people.

Honestly. This isn't anybodies policy just ONE MANS alleged bias. See the difference?

Obviously not.

Wouldn't be surprised if the driver was just joking and it was taken the wrong way. Foreign SOHs don't always mix well.

[Shasown]

Neither do some home grown ones apparently.

[Zippy]

Lol. My post was directed at those before you banging on about how dare you blah blah this is England blah blah. Silly. Like anybody really feels they can't wear an England shirt!

[lol]

I can't believe people fell for the England shirt thing.
What is more sickening is that people used it to inflict racial hatred on innocent foreigners.

[brian3]

I love when little stories like this happen. Football fans act like they are being opperesed.

"they will not let me go into a night club in a football tshirt. What an injustice"

"A tv presenter took the piss out of football. Why does everyone always pick on the poor football fan. It's so unfair"

For a game that is so much a part of (very) hetro lad culture. The fans really do act like a bunch of little girls sometimes

[GiRTh]

I love it when the Daily whip up public opinion like this. Just when I think the average bloke in the street is becoming more discerning along comes this or some bul**** Simon Cowell show to bring my optimism back down to earth.

[30stone]

Meh i dont really know what to believe..

But IF true.

He should be fired for that completely out of order.

We have to be sensitive to other cultures.

[setanta]

In a situation like this I'd usually tell the bus driver to shut up and just wear a German jersey, but seeing as he's Polish....

How pathetic.

[Nemo123]

If it's a choice between letting muslins or dogs on my bus then I say,
Oi Muslin! Get outta my bus!

Just change into a normal top and then start blasting Wagner on your iPod without headphones.

[lol]

It's spelt Muslim, at least spell it correctly before you inflict racial hatred on other human beings.

I know how it's spelt, I spelt it like that on purpose. (Brian Glover in Porridge, with a bit of Peggy Mitchell)

Muslim isn't a race.

[Patrick]

I'd give the finger to the *****ing ugly bitch sitting on the bus, go into a racist rant about how this is Britain and not *****ing their country and if they don't like it then ***** off.

And then I'd shout some things at the bus man and walk off and call a Taxi.

The Daily Mail link seems to be no longer working

It is beginning to look like this story is suspect (http://www.firstgroup.com/ukbus/northwest/staffordshire/news/index.php?item=11081&show=1)

Good find for the link Sticks, however "beginning to look....." that was reflected within the first 5-6 posts, could i suggest you use a more accurate term such as; "this link provides a more factual viewpoint and totally undermines the original story".

Not surprising at all, Like I said people it's the Daily Mail. It's a scummy awful newspaper that's nothing but an abortion of journalism.

Oh I dont know sometimes the crossword is quite entertaining, and that ask the public facts thingy.

[Nemo123]

damage already done

Wrt dogs on buses, if they're allowed then they're allowed, end of. If you have a problem with it, you get off the bus.

[Jords]

If it was as simple as that, pathetic.

It was also on Local TV
Nothing to do with any paper.

[Dr.Gonzo]

It's a load of sh**... obviously.

PC gone mad is still to blame. It's the drama queens of the country, so infuriated by all other PC stories that they make up bigger ones to vent their frustrations. Imagine if this happened, they think. They think it and become angry just at the idea. It isn't true, but is showing of how the PC brigade have damaged our culture with the little things that have now snowballed into a mass fu**fest.

[InOne]

To be fair, I'm quite good at finding the places where our culture does still exist :)

[Dr.Gonzo]

Your avatar and sig prove this.

[InOne]

Same with you Gonzo man. At least some of us are cultured!!!
