Political correctness gone potty

A PUB singer is set to be quizzed by cops tonight after he was accused of "racism" for belting out the chart hit ‘Kung Fu Fighting’ as two Chinese people walked past. Simon Ledger was arrested in a Chinese restaurant after a complaint was made to police. Simon, 34, often performs the song in Sandown, Isle of Wight. He said: "I hadn't even seen these two." 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. I was arrested by the cops. I thought it was a joke but they were serious. They seemed pretty amazed, too, but said the law is the law and it was their duty. It's political correctness gone potty." The police have since come to their senses and dropped the charge.
