Confused? A TV documentary is set to reveal all and show the shocking prejudice faced by the couple on the Rochdale housing estate where they live, writes Helen Tither.
Circling menacingly on their bikes, hoods hiding their faces, the crowd of teenagers start throwing eggs. The couple on the receiving end of their vicious taunts have done nothing more than walk to the bus stop. It's bullying, in broad daylight – and it's caught on camera.
But not even the TV cameras make this gang of teenage tormentors stop as they point and jeer. To see such prejudice exposed on screen is shocking.
