A couple singing the PEPPA PIG theme tune to their toddler were forced off bus after complaints were made that they were being RACIST because it goes against the Muslim pork ban The 24-year-old mother said that they were trying to settle their daughter on the X78 bus on September 8 when they were approached by a muslim woman who came up to us and quite aggressively started telling us we were irresponsible parents and that we were being racist singing the song. 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. They claimed that 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. pmsl! =D The muslim woman complained to the buss driver, who, it is claimed, then told the couple it would be easier for them to get off two miles from their home. 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 didnt listen to our side of the story or ask any questions. We were really embarrassed, ashamed and upset and we hadnt 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. LONG LIVE PEPPA PIG A popular and delightful symbol of OUR CULTURE AND FREEDOM OF SPEECH So now you can be forced off a bus for singing PEPPA PIG songs? You couldnt make this up. But whilst its astonishing, its also deeply worrying. It makes me wonder whether we shouldnt ALL start learning Peppa songs? LInk below Peppa Songs OINK OINK!
