It may be racist.
A couple were thrown off a bus and branded racists after singing the Peppa Pig theme tune to their autistic daughter, it has been claimed.
Nick Barnfield and Sarah Cleaves were travelling with their daughter Heidi on a bus from Sheffield to Doncaster when the 15-month-old started crying.
The couple, who live in Rotherham, started singing the song in an effort to cheer their daughter up, but say they were branded racists by another passenger and told to get off the bus by its driver.
The couple claimed the woman, who they saw was wearing a hijab, took offence to the snorting sounds in the song and believed they were a reference to how pork is forbidden in Islam though this has not been confirmed.
She complained to the bus's driver, who, it is claimed, then told the couple it would be 'easier' for them to get off two miles from their home.
'We were really embarrassed, ashamed and upset and we hadn't done anything wrong, just trying to make our little girl happy, but people were looking at us as if we had done something wrong.
'It was humiliating,' said Mr Branfield.
The 24-year-old said they were trying to settle their daughter on the X78 bus on September 8 when they were approached 'aggressively' by the woman.
'A lady came up to us and quite aggressively started telling us we were irresponsible parents and that we were being racist singing the song.'
'She went up to the bus driver and told him we were being racist towards her and she wasn’t happy. The driver came up to me and said we had to get off the bus or the police would have to come.
'He said: 'just get off the bus - it’s not worth the hassle’. I was really shocked because we had done nothing wrong but he didn't listen to us.
'He just said: "Go now, otherwise you’ll hold up all the passengers and no-one will be happy."'
'I was more upset at the bus driver not taking in both sides - he just heard the word racism and kicked us off.
'I’m annoyed he didn't listen to our side of the story or ask any questions.'

What a hell hole for the white English that place is ,a glance of what Labour will bring to your town/city should a white Englishman be silly enough to vote for Labour.

I can't see why they are moaning about it now. They should have stayed on the bus. That way, the passengers would have had the opportunity to direct their anger at the REAL culprit.
But they didn't. They missed an ideal opportunity to show the woman up for the bigot that she is. I would have loved it, explaining in a loud voice to your tearful child that you can't sing the children's ditty because this unidentified person dressed in blackout curtains thinks we are singing about a real pig! |

I agree with your stance Naydam but I get the feeling (purely from the account above) that the Mum & Dad were more concerned about their 15 month old baby than scoring a point on principle alone. Fair play to them for that.
However, once the baby was safe and happy in their home, I bet they wished they did things differently, hence the "moaning about it now". As for the complainant, you put it rather well with bigot, and I best leave it there.  |

Naydam, you seem to be assuming that most people on the bus were white and the complainant was alone. I very much doubt that was the case.

And Miliband forgets? (more like does not want too because of his parties betrayal of the white Englishman) to even mention immigration during a keynote speech?
You do the maths. Meanwhile the Labour shadow justice secretary Sadiq Khan talks about how unfair Norman Tebbitt's cricket test was? a test designed to ensure that you signed up to the English way of life and Peppa Pig? |

Is that the Daily Mail which has warned of Pakistani grooming gangs for 15 years?
Maybe more should read it? Ban Peppa pig but encourage Pakistani paedophiles, South Yorkshire,they all used to worship Geoff Boycott? |

As stated on numerous occasions, that Facts always seems to miss, the OP doesn't read any papers, and hasn't purchased a newspaper this century.
This was copied from the politics forum. Not that it matters what paper it's in, the question is, is it true? I bet it's not in the Guardian.  BTW - You won't find news in the papers that 'Kidsworld', a toy shop in East Ham High Street, Newham, east London, sells no Peppa Pig products whatsoever, but it's true. |

Facts 28 Sep 14 09:56
Absolutely not true. I like most people. Just not idiots who post utter crap on forums And there you have the luvvies in a nutshell. Anything derogatroy about asians or blacks is bad. Facts says reporting news is racist. But only if it's about asians and blacks, of course. Did The Guardian (the paper that Facts says always prints the truth) tell us of child abuse and prostitution in the north years ago? I bet it didn't, and I bet they thought it was racist to do so. The Mail did, so did other papers, and they were proved to be telling the truth. Facts doesn't like it, but the truthful paper, The Guardian, steered clear of it, and the Labour Party, along with the police, covered it all up. Which was what Facts wanted. And he now probably hates the 'racist' Farage for bringing it up at the UKIP conference. Milliband said it was a 'cultural problem'. But as we all know from the truthful paper, The Guardian, multiculturalism is wonderful. So it couldn't POSSIBLY be a cultural problem, could it? Who covered it up? Counsellors and child services. Who helped cover it all up? The Police. Whose instructions were Child Services and the Police under not to 'make waves' in the asian community? Answer - The Labour Party. Which makes it political, so Farage was right to bring it up. Which Facts didn't want. |

The Hebrew bible which is part of the Islamic faith - Abraham is regarded as the first Patriarch of the Jewish people - Islam which means surrender dates back to Abraham and his surrender to God [ Allah ]. Until Abraham many gods were worshipped.
So the reason pork is not eaten relates to both faiths Hebrew and Islam. However there are differences - the first Patriarch of the Arabic people is Abraham's son. Jesus who is regarded as the son of God in Christianity is downgraded to prophet by Islam and a false Messiah by the Hebrew faith. |

Daily Mail link in. The OP suggests that if not a total falsification a good chance the whole truth has not been told. Who really throws someone off a bus just for singing a song to their kid?

Yep the Daily Mail links about Pakistani paedophile gangs operating in this very area were also fabrication for 17 years,until we found out the reports are true.

Odd really as it's not a real pig just a cartoon character in children's entertainment, however it appears to be true. |

If the links were proved to be true then how the hell can they be a fabrication for 17 years. Think about it. |
