    Default UK Pub Singer Arrested for Singing ‘Kung Fu Fighting’ in Earshot of Chinese Pair

    A PUB singer was arrested for alleged "racism" after belting out the chart hit Kung Fu Fighting as two Chinese people walked past.

    One of them complained to cops, who later nicked stunned Simon Ledger - in a Chinese restaurant.

    Simon, 34, often performs the song in Sandown, Isle of Wight. He said: "I hadn't even seen these two."

    Now he fears he could get a criminal record.

    Cops sprang into action and arrested Simon despite the fact that he regularly features the 1974 No1 in his act at a seaside pub.

    Simon, who has performed on TV with Michael Barrymore, was doing a spot with a pal at the town's Driftwood Beach Bar on Sunday afternoon.

    All went well until he began the Carl Douglas disco classic, with its famous Chinese-sounding riff.

    Simon said: "We were performing Kung Fu Fighting, as we do during all our sets. People of all races were loving it. Chinese people have never been offended by it before.

    "But this lad walking past with his mum called us w*****s and did the hand sign before taking a picture on his mobile phone.

    "We hadn't even seen them when we started the song. He must have phoned the police.

    "They phoned me when I was in a Chinese restaurant that night. They arranged to meet me and I was arrested.

    I thought it was a joke but they were serious. They seemed pretty amazed but said the law is the law and it was their duty. It's political correctness gone potty."

    Simon added: "There are plenty of Welsh people at our shows - does it mean I can't play any Tom Jones?"

    Bar owner Sean Ware said: "The song is in no way racist and nor is Simon. There is no way he would abuse anyone.

    Quantcast

    "He didn't start the song just because Chinese people were walking past. He had already started playing it."

    Simon, who is on bail until today, wrote on Facebook: "If the lad who phoned the police is reading this, WHAT IS WONG WITH YOU? Sorry, what is wrong with you?"

    A police spokesman said a 32-year-old man of Chinese origin had claimed he was subjected to racial abuse.

    He added: "Police are investigating an allegation of racially-aggravated harassment. A man from Shanklin was arrested on suspicion."

    Those Chinese need to buy themselves a sense of humour. It's at a local pound shop for £ 1.50 (and I am quite sure that he didn't even see them and just began to sing whatever he was about to sing). Otherwise: they should call these people and ... be so friendly to buy a return ticket.



    Wake up and smell the coffee.

    Overly sensitive people should be forced to have a zipper installed on their mouths, or risk being fined, for wasting the constables time, with their crybaby antics.

    oversensitive? haha, retards, better said. in italy they banned a romanian movie because one of the characters (an old funny man) names the italians "gypsies" for their dark tan, "maccheroni eaters" and other stuff to convince his daughter not to leave for italy. that was all. film got pretty popular (francesca) and italians showed just how much sense of humour they got. we will all live in a fearful future this way... fear of being brought down by a stupid thing like this

    Italian "gypsies for their dark tan"? "maccheroni eaters"? BS! Please don't lie, or you only make the prejudice that many have towards your people and your country stronger. To set the record straight, the film was not banned eventually. Only Alessandra Mussolini asked for its ban because she was called "a slut who wants to kill all the Romanians" by a character. As if she were the only one...

    No , you're all wrong , as Alzo Zero explained (thank you Alzo , mi hai anticipato).
    Beside the fact that it's pretty hilarioous being called names by subhumans and gypsies...
    and from one who dresses just like a Guido with that oversized glasses...

    No hate crime legislation is being involved with that movie , it's just that , since the actors , producers and writers , were leftist pro-immigration , they decided to put a scene where Alessandra Mussolini , a right-wing anti-immigration politician , was called very bad names.
    She asked for a ban but the idiotic liberal leftist judiciary system we've ruled by said we are a democracy and anyone can call names , so the movie was in several cinemas , without any censorship.
