I believe he did probably have too much luggage

i think he must have been a bit of a mentalist too

People are just being silly now.

It's clearly becoming more widespread; I had a customer (a long-term regular) completely at random go off on one at an Asian guy who was just sitting minding his own business. It was awful; all "We're sick of your ****ing type, over here blowing up our people." and the classic "**** off Jihadi John". He also referred to him as "Mr ISIS". I have no idea how the guy stayed so calm - sadly I can only assume he's used to it. The guy wasn't even "foreign" (not that this would be an excuse) - he had an obvious Scottish accent and had literally done nothing at all other than, presumably, have the wrong features.

For obvious reasons, I asked Robbie Racist to leave and not come back. He left with his tail between his legs and hasn't been seen since.

To be fair to the wider public (for once) - there were quite a few other people telling him he was massively out of order.

I saw something similar recently. I was washing a quilt in my local laundrette when these two African women started on a Muslim couple who were, just like me, doing their washing. They wouldn't allow the couple to sit down and told them they couldn't use that tumble dryer or that one of the other one because they were going to use them. They then sat there, talking loudly about how these effing Muslims should feck-off home.

I reported them to the laundry staff and they did go and have a word with them and ensured this couple did have a seat and did have a tumble dryer.

He should have been made wear an Islamic emblem on his jacket.

Yet again another case of people not learning from the past, another point is that doing all this will make the situation much worse, it will cause a divide. It's just stupid, they should be tackling Isis not innocent people.

Loads of folk get kicked off buses for lots of reasons on a daily basis and of all nationalities too, so why is it such an issue because this one kicked off the bus for refusing to comply to bus regulations just happened to be muslim?

Its strange isn't it...I mean There's a contradiction in what we are allowed to say. We can't call someone a slut, ugly or thick to their face but we can talk about sluttish ugly thick people. We can name and shame people so long as they don't use these forums but once here they are given protection from being offended.

I've seen some posts on here that really don't hold back in the language they use and the hatred they show towards certain celebrities but these same people get terribly upset if they think someone is saying something personal about them. Seems to me that those who throw the biggest rocks become cry babies when someone tosses a mere pebble in their direction.

Unlike some, I'm too thick skinned and grown up to run off and report someone for getting personal with me on here, but then, like I've already said, **** just slides straight off me. On other forum groups I would consider reporting outright Islamaphobia and I'd do so, not because I'm far left (which I'm not) but because many Muslims use forum groups like this and those people really shouldn't be subjected to reading such nasty ****e.

It's a decent sized forum. It seems statistically unlikely that absolutely no one here has any racist inclinations at all

National Express categorically deny that his race or religion had any impact on his being asked to get off the coach. No one knows the full story yet, just a set of "eyewitness reports". And yet, people are already drawing comparisons to Nazi Germany.

If he was put off the coach simply because he was Muslim, that's deplorable. But I doubt it happened.
