Goths…


Goth who walks fiancée on a leash is banned by bus driver who told him: 'No dogs allowed'

Given that she describes herself as a human pet – and is happy to walk around on a lead – Tasha Maltby is used to odd looks and even odder remarks.

But nothing had prepared her for the reaction of the bus driver who allegedly told the self-styled Goth and her boyfriend: "We don't let freaks and dogs like you on."

Miss Maltby and her fiance Dani Graves were so angered they have complained to the bus company of being "victimised".

Going walkies: Dani Graves and girlfriend Tasha Maltby were allegedly barred from a bus

"It is definitely discrimination, almost like a hate crime," 19-year-old Miss Maltby said yesterday.

The music technology student had this defence of her lifestyle.

"I am a pet, I generally act animal like and I lead a really easy life," she said.

"I don't cook or clean and I don't go anywhere without Dani. It might seem strange but it makes us both happy. It's my culture and my choice. It isn't hurting anyone."

The bus driver, however, has obviously not been listening.

He has repeatedly refused to allow Mr Graves, 25, and his "pet" on to his bus in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.

Last month, with Miss Maltby on a leash as usual, the couple tried to board a bus at the bus station.

The driver, who was off duty, was standing near the door.

Mr Graves alleged: "He shoved me off the bus. He called us freaks and he called Tasha a dog.

"He said, 'We don't let freaks and dogs like you on'.

"He basically grabbed my T-shirt and slammed me backwards.

"I got a bit angry and called him a fascist pig."

In a separate incident, police were called when the driver, who has not been named, refused to allow other passengers on board after the couple ignored his orders and sat down.

The couple, who live on benefits in a council house and plan to start a family, have been friends for years.
 (Figures, live on welfare in social housing)

They started going out together in July and became engaged in November.

Paul Adcock, of bus company Arriva Yorkshire, said: "We take any allegations of discrimination seriously.

"Mr Graves has already contacted us directly and as soon as our investigation has concluded we will inform him of the outcome."

Andy, this goth really needs to be taken to a Royal Marine pub for a proper beatdown.

So she acts like an animal, believes herself to be a pet, but when she is treated like one she is being discriminated against?

Things are worse than I thought! So this couple could get a "job-seeker's allowance", dress and act as un-employable as possible, and get paid?

BINGO!

They would receive dole money and get a house provided free from the local town council and not have to pay any local taxes..

Basic "job-seeker's allowance" is £46.85 for her and £59.15 for him for sitting on there ass's.

The clever move for these sort of parasites is to claim they're 'depressed' because they can't get a job, then they go onto 'Incapacity Benefit' that gives them £81.35 a week each. And I'll bet dollars to donuts they both are on Incapacity.

If they are on incapacity because they are 'depressed' they can also claim Disability Living Allowance… and that can pay up to another £64.50 each per week!

A six pack or two and I'd take her for a walk around the block...

Parents, this is what happens when you don't let your kids have dogs. The grow up to be freaks. Get your kids a dog to raise. It's for the children.

Once she grows up she might be attractive.

But they both look to be under 18.

Certainly they will get along with the junior high crowd around home.

Vito113, the only people in England who should be depressed are those who work for a living, own their own home (or think they do), and pay outrageous taxes to support the lifestyle of freak-shows like this one!

I'm probably going to be mostly on my own on this one, but he should have just let them on the bus?  It'd be one thing if she walked on her hands and knees, I could see that being a safety issue, but it seems the driver's only complaint is the way they dress and her wearing a leash.  He should just do his job and not be so uptight.  As for them being on welfare... that's just

...and therein lies the danger of "hate crime" laws. Sooner or later everybody becomes a protected class and expects the arrest and prosecution of anyone who offends them.

So much for free speech. Of course, liberals don't really care about free speech anyway....



"I got a bit angry and called him a fascist pig."


How original.

I tried to talk my wife in to the leash thing (Showed her the pic). I got the dog leash and held it up.  

She took the leash and beat the crap out of me with it.
