A hard(core) news item from the BBC:
"A goth who leads his girlfriend around with a dog lead and collar was stopped from getting on a bus amid fears for passenger safety, a bus firm confirmed.
Dani Graves, 25, and his fiancee Tasha Maltby, 19, of Dewsbury, West Yorks, claim they have been discriminated against by bus firm Arriva Yorkshire...
Miss Maltby said she came up with the idea to wear a dog lead, and said previous boyfriends had called her a "weirdo" when she suggested it...
The company said it was writing to Mr Graves "to apologise for any distress caused by the way this matter was handled."
While it is tempting to editorialize over this shocking affair, let us put the question to a peerless jury of Walking the Berkshires readers, viz:
Wait! If I choose option one, am I saying that the goth couple are the greatest threat to British civilization, or that the BBC article is the greatest threat...
... if it's the BBC article, I'll go with the "Greatest Threat" option.

Too many freaks, not enough circuses.
