The 'witnesses' testimony is diametrically opposed to the Bus Company's version of events, and as Livia says the company would have to be pretty dumb to eject a passenger simply for being Muslim'. But I will add to that and say they would have to be be even dumber to BROADCAST the fact to the other passengers that this was the reason they asked him to leave.

The ejected passenger is alleged to have refused to put certain of his luggage in the alloted space and was loud and aggressive. How do you know that THIS version is not the true one?

How do you know that it was not his loud aggressive behaviour which intimidated the other passengers and made some of them 'feel uncomfortable travelling with him'?

How did ANYONE else on the bus KNOW that the passenger was a Muslim? Was he wearing a Burka?

Did he announce to the bus driver and other passengers upon boarding: "I am a Muslim"?

I will reserve judgement upon this matter UNTIL fuller facts have emerged.

It seems more plausible than an MP turning his back on troops in all fairness, so yes we will see how this pans out.
