The driver raises security concerns, which the Muslim woman takes as him accusing her of being a terrorist. But there are legitimate security concerns involving covering the face. We have seen crimes committed by people with their faces covered. In today’s shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain, however, security concerns have to go out the window when there is even a hint of “Islamophobia.”
“Bus driver disciplined for asking Muslim woman to remove veil,” by Frances Perraudin, Guardian, August 10, 2018:
A bus driver has been disciplined after asking a Muslim woman to remove her face veil, telling passengers: “This world is dangerous.”
The 20-year-old woman was with her two-month-old baby when the driver of a First service into Bristol city centre told her he did not know what she was capable of doing if he could not see her face.
The woman, who has not been named, told Bristol Live: “He said I was scary and I was dangerous, and he kept talking about it during the journey. I didn’t say anything.
“He continued to insult me, and he made me out to be a terrorist, and kept saying everyone should see each other’s faces. He asked why I was wearing a balaclava. He was insinuating I was going to bomb the bus.”…
The driver can be heard asking a female passenger why she is filming him. “I’m recording you so we can report you later on,” she said.
Another woman said: “I don’t understand why you care [how she’s dressed]. It’s her choice what she wears.”
The driver replied: “I care because this world is dangerous. If you don’t see somebody’s face, that’s not good.”
He later added: “I can see your face, you can see my face. We should see our faces.”
A First West of England spokesman said: “We have fully and unreservedly apologised to the customer for the distress caused when one of our drivers expressed his personal opinions, and behaved in an offensive fashion that in no way reflects our deeply held values as an inclusive company which welcomes all people, irrespective of background, race, nationality or religion, as customers and employees.
“We have reminded staff of our expectations and behaviours that are demanded of them. The driver has been censured through the company’s disciplinary procedures for this incident, which is a matter the company takes very seriously.
“We are also helping the police with their inquiries and we are arranging a meeting with the customer to apologise in person and discuss matters in more detail.”
somehistory says
Poor guy. He has the right idea…if we can’t see faces, it makes it easier for the bad guy//girl to get away after the terror.
It’s a disguise. and in this case as many others, it is a weapon of evil warfare, furthering islam’s depraved restrictions on living.
Michael Copeland says
The driver does not sound like a native English speaker. He may be a concerned Pole, well aware of the dangers of masked Islamic bombers.
somehistory says
That is entirely possible. The Polish do seem very capable of speaking their minds on this subject.
Carol the 1st says
Islam can be such a deliberately tangled web that subjects like this take a fair amount of concerted study and effort. It is admirable for the driver to speak up (and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he’s a Pole). The “virtuous” passengers who think dangers to innocents ought be casually dismissed in favour of 7th century supremacy tools are too stupid to know the road they’re definitely headed down.
Here’s an ex-muslim who has worked studiously to assemble and present all the details regarding this veiling issue:
Is The Hijab Really A Choice?

Paul says
If I wandered around town with my face covered the police would be called. Many UK instances of this.
If I stated I had a reason such as preserving my modesty (I am a middle aged male) you would state I was mentally ill. And rightly so.
But we allow this to happen in our society as proof of our tolerance of an invading religion.
Maybe I should start my own religion…

Alyn Starkman says
That busdriver was right. For security reasons everybody should be required to show their face.
Giacomo Latta says
As long as we are talking about burqas we are not talking about misogyny, slitting people’s throats, clitorises, etc. This red herring does not help.
Dreadnaught says
The UK is crying out for people to start parading in KKK outfits just for the hell of it and call out this dhimmi State for what it is.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, if a Muslim woman can walk the streets of the UK in a burka why shouldn’t a man wearing a KKK outfit be able to do the same? Both manner of dress are symbols of fear and oppression to certain others within the population. Would tolerance prevail? Would the man be allowed to remain anonymous? Would people really feel that everyone should be allowed to dress any way they want?
Carol the 1st says
Surely the KKK is just as fit to be a ‘religion’ as is Islam.
Bxgirl says
It’s too bad the govt is too weak to lead on this issue.
Marigold says
As proud American says there has been a terrorist incident in Afghanistan by a person wearing a full face veil so only the naive would think it was impossible for it to happen elsewhere in the world in these times.The bus company should be ashamed of itself and be more sympathetic and supportive of its drivers who have to sit all day on a bus and deal with such possibilities.He should not have been disciplined as he was only thinking of the safety of his passengers.The full face veil should be banned in open faced societies
Michael Copeland says
Hear hear.
The company’s grovelling appeasement, full of all the fashionable words, is nauseous.
PATRICIA KOENIG says
UK is the most dhimmitude Western country at this time. I feel so sorry for the British…and I am really glad I do not live there!

Although I strongly believe that it should be illegal to go around in public wearing masks or their equivalent this bus driver had no right to make company policy. He knew full well that, at the very least, he was being exceptionally rude and would cause her undue embarrassment. If he is unwilling to follow company policy (and the law) he should get another job. He’ll have to now.
CogitoErgoSum says
All bus drivers should begin wearing masks over their face to show support for company policy … I would pick one of Donald Trump.
Carol the 1st says
The driver didn’t do anything horrendous or super offensive like parading his adherence to an evil creed in front of its victims. He probably knew the “rules” and decided it would only be psyche-shaking and not earth-shaking to make his point. If she were *that* sensitive she’d drop Islam as calling it a ‘religion’ doesn’t hide what it is to anyone with a brain.
No Muzzies Here says
The Uk will exist no more in about 20 years. Can’t say I bloody give a damn.
Johane says
It’s a question of security. Is it so hard to understand for some people?
But they always twist it around to make themselves look like victims.
And some of the passengers are just so stupid or asleep. The driver says “in these times we live in we need to no who we’re dealing with”. That makes perfect sense to me.

“The Snake by Al Wilson
On her way to work one morning
Down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
“Poor thing, ” she cried, “I’ll take you in and I’ll take care of you”
“Take me in tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, tender woman, ” sighed the snake
She wrapped him up all cozy in a comforter of silk
And laid him by her fireside with some honey and some milk
She hurried home from work that night and soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she’d taken to had been revived
“Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, tender woman, ” sighed the snake
She clutched him to her bosom, “You’re so beautiful, ” she cried
“But if I hadn’t brought you in by now you might have died”
She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight
Instead of saying thanks, the snake gave her a vicious bite
“Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, tender woman, ” sighed the snake
“I saved you, ” cried the woman
“And you’ve bitten me, but why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I’m going to die”
“Oh shut up, silly woman, ” said the reptile with a grin
“You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in
“Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, tender woman, ” sighed the snake

At many retail outlets there are sigsn on the doors that motor cyclists have to remove their helmets for security reasons. At a filling station recently an angry motor cyclist filed a complaint of ‘racism’ after he was required to remove his helmet whilst a muslim woman was not required to remove her face-covering just moments earlier. Not sure what’s happened next.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, wearing a helmet to show support for the the burka and niqab is a good idea too. In this instance I would choose a Crusader type helmet with a cross on the top of it.
Japetto Danatelli says
In a different world without muslims, then sure, face coverings might not be a big deal. But muslims have created an intense climate of fear with their violence and bigoted indifference toward others. So I sympathize with this driver, his passengers are his responsibility. We want him to be sharp and vigilant about any kind of danger. He deals with people all day, maybe he sensed something strange about this covered muslim that made him nervous. I tend to get nervous myself when in the presence of a covered muslim when I’m on the bus, I think, “is this the day I get blown to bits by the religion of peace?” And it’s typical in these situations that the muslim is deemed the victim while the “infidel” is wrong. The usual response by the “higher-ups” or government is to treat these cases as isolated acts in a vacuum, never mind the backstory of murder, rape, and violence that underlie the friction between muslims and those they terrorize. We non-muslim citizens are treated like a hateful stepmother might treat a stepchild she doesn’t like, with contempt and bias for the child she does like. Muslims can do no wrong while they conquer and terrorize us for their religion that commands them to conquer and terrorize us for their religion. We, however, are the naughty children that must neeeeeverrrrrrrr, ever, speak badly about anything the favorite kids do or we are racist bigots with phobic perceptions about reality. And we all know what happens then, you end up starved like Tommy with an unlocked prison door so the favorite kids can torture and perhaps kill you.
The government’s attitude is that we should all put on our rose colored glasses and simply let this bloody islamic roller coaster take us where it will. And if we all lose our freedoms and get raped or murdered for that foreign ideology then oh well, at least we can say we’re diverse and multicultural. And that’s the important thing, Isn’t it? that we learned to accept without the slightest compunction the loss of our freedoms and the destruction of our nation for muslim supremacy. That’s the future of Britain, and that’s the future of the West in general if we don’t stop the islamic infiltration of our nations. It should not be necessary to state what needs to be done, the solution is rather simple. If you want to eliminate a bad effect then you remove the cause, and the cause is islam

Of course the full facial covering should be banned (i.e. illegal). He just went about objecting to it in a stupid manner destined to cause trouble only for himself.
Carol the 1st says
He’s made a point and people are observing and commenting and so I don’t think he’s “only caused trouble for himself”. If our leaders keep ABUSING US and we start speaking and acting up then more and more change is gonna come.
ISLAM is brutal, regressive malarkey and it cannot be allowed to push aside the best civilization the world has produced. Too bad if objections draw crocodile tears (and tough-skinned lawsuits as salve).
Nationalism is gaining more and more impetus and the horse isn’t going back into the burning barn of any kind of totalitarianism. People are coming to their senses. It’s just a matter of getting the grassroots power to demand and do what NEEDS to be done.

European Elections are coming in May 2019. Dr. Steve Turley says it looks like the European Parliament will have a near-majority of Euroskeptic nations “and it looks like they will come together and challenge any further notion of immigration.”
Near end he adds “It looks like the European parliament is getting set for a political “earthquake” that will change the GLOBAL POLITICAL ORDER for GENERATIONS to come”:
Polls Point to Anti-EU SURGE in European Parliament!!!

James Lincoln says
Excellent points made!
If I may amplify:
The intense climate of fear that Muslims have created have made the unbelievers hypersensitive to anything associated with Islam.
Countries like UK, Sweden, etc., can say that they are multicultural by accepting large numbers of Muslim migrants, but they are rapidly losing their country in the process. A country can be multiethnic but should have one culture, i.e., a melting pot.
It is best to avoid / eliminate the cause of the problem, in this case Islam. As an analogy, in medicine it is always better to treat the underlying cause of the problem rather than the symptoms

Regardless of the reason for wanting to mask one’s face – religious or otherwise — it should be illegal to do so. However, as long as it is legal and corporate policy is to accept such passengers, he had a responsibility which he ignored and acted in a fashion that he knew would have repercussions. He was right…there will be repercussions.

Rarely…you sound like you’re gladdened by that thought (and thus speak with forked tongue).

Years ago I had read an article that London is one of the most security camera cities-they’re all over town. It isn’t just a matter of what she or a male dressed up in a chador (some ISIS guys did that and after woman suicide bombers in Africa one of the countries banned chadors and abayas) but also for any crime that would involve her. She could say she was robbed and a security camera just shows someone in a black chador and niqab. That’s all witnesses could say unless they catch the color of her eyes the majority of people in the world have brown eyes.
I do not accept their idea that it makes them more pious. Anyway, the niqab was decided on by mere mortal men and not even Muhammad. It’s a Hadith thing and possessive men who also like to dehumanize women. Muhammad even dehumanized his wives by not letting them marry, even Aisha who was only 18 when he died. It’s very selfish.
At a recent music concert in Saudi Arabia, most of the women were not wearing niqabs so I guess they eased up on that. I recall a Saudi man who divorced his wife when he found out she was ugly. I guess he had met her in a niqab that she didn’t take off until they were married and living together. It’s kind of mean, but chemistry and physicality you like is part of attraction.

What is the point of having cameras on buses if passengers are going to cover their faces?
What kind of society do we want to live in?
Carol the 1st says
Perhaps this should also become an issue of the driver’s own personal safety.
Mirren10 says
Listen to that stupid, smug bint with the camera, yelping about how ”it’s her right to choose what she wears”.
Yes, and she can choose to rob you, or attack you, and you won’t be able to describe her, will you, you moron !
And of **course** that pathetic bint would rather be stolen from, attacked with a knife, or blown up on the bus, rather than be islamophobic !
But neither she, and those like her, or the government, have the right to make that decision for those of us with common sense and a desire to live.

1.You cannot wear a balaclava if you are going into a bank.If you approached a military installation wearing one you would very likely be shot dead.
unless you are on a ski-slope,the wearing of a balaclava near a bank or a military base would be extremely foolish.
2.Many companies insist that motorcycle couriers take off their helmets when delivering parcels
3.The fascist antifarts use face-masks and bike helmets too:in the interests of security and public safety,these should be banned{a heavy on-the-spot fine given by a police officer should work}let’s face it:they are up to no good and the only reason they are worn is to hide their illegal activities from Law Enforcement.
4 For security reasons,many shopping malls enforce a no Hoodie rule.
Balaclavas,Bike helmets,Hoodies,burqas and masks:all designed to hide the face and in this security-conscious times,depending on the situation,it is necessary to insist on allowing the person’s face to be seen.
