I found the story rather disturbing and made me feel quite angry. I am still under the belief that the story is true and if the couple had been a diffrent colour there would be country wide uproar.
"Of course it's okay to discriminate against a couple teenage goths ,that's just a bit of fun. Afer all they should expect ridicule for being diffrent.." Hmmm
At the end of the day the bus driver is supposed to be performing a public service.
By the way the original story i read made no mention of public safety. In fact the couple always remove the lead before entering the bus. They were actually assaulted and abused by the driver because he took offence to the way they looked.
The link you posted is very diffrent to the original one that i saw. This later one reads like it has been very misquoted. Also forgets to mention that the driver called the girl a dog and the boy a freak and actually shoved them off the bus as they tried to board it. Personally putting myself in that position i would feel more than justified in making a complaint to the bus company. Which is all they seem to have attempted to do, it's hardly a publicity stunt. It may not be a major news story but then neither is most of what the tabloids print.
