Bus passenger gets his comeuppance after confronting Muslim woman

It takes a lot of courage to stand up to ignorance, so when it does happen we should applaud it.

Yesterday in Wales, Tom Bradbury was on a bus when he saw a white man sit in front of a mother and her son.

She was "wearing a niqab" and "talking to her son in another language", so the man felt the need to interrupt.

What happened next was brilliant.

If you can's see the Facebook post, you can view it here, or read what it says below:

"The most perfect thing I have ever seen just happened on the replacement train bus service between Newport and Cwmbran.

"White man sat in front of a mother and her son. Mother was wearing a niqab. After about 5 minutes of the mother talking to her son in another language the man, for whatever reason, feels the need to tell the woman 'When you're in the UK you should really be speaking English'.

"At which point, an old woman in front of him turns around and says, 'She's in Wales. And she's speaking Welsh'.

"Perfect."
