| Isle of Weight Popular Island musician and entertainer, Simon Ledger, ended up in hot water after an alleged shock racism claim was made by two Chinese tourists. The entertainer will spend the evening in a police cell at Newport Police Station and have to be quizzed by detectives after being arrested for singing the classic Kung Foo Fighting in front the mother and son. Island Police managed to track down Mr Ledger to the Dragon Pearl Chinese restaurant in Shanklin shortly after his evening of entertaining at the Driftwood Beach Bar in Sandown. Shocked Ledger, who spoke exclusively to ‘The Gazette’ said: “I don’t even know who the pair are”. “It is all quite amazing how a evening of performing on the beach can end you up in a cell”. “The Police phoned me when I was in a Chinese restaurant that night. They arranged to meet me and I was arrested. |

| #1 You can expect more of this and even around the world. They don't even have to let you know who it was that complained. Chinese tourists, Muslims or anyone that thinks they are persecuted. Anyone who comes in contact with the public is now a target. Guilty first. I have seen where parents have taken a child into a store and someone complains about a parent. Six months later you may get your child back from social services. I heard of one woman who had many problems with social services. Her kids were bad at times at school. Her solution was if you think you can do a better job you take them. |
