19QOS19 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-50079716Found this amusing. I hope they weren't seriously hurt by the crowd but I liked that the public pulled the fuckwits off the train. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Idk people moved to violence because something delays them getting to work is abjectly tragicIf it was a one off I would agree. But haven't these militants been causing havoc for a while now? I don't agree with folk getting violent but good on the ones who ripped them down from the train. Arseholes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I would agree that lunging for someone stood on top of a train is a good idea, if you push them rather than grab them they will probably die and you'll be in the nick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're a doctor or a nurse what sadsack gives so much of a f**k about getting to work they drag someone off a train?

This isn't a city famed for a lack of transport in fact the station is close to bus and DLR routes if you had to avoid the underground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they would have looked pretty daft if everyone had left the platform to get on another tube/bus/train. I personally think their protest today was pretty clumsy and has opened them to a whole new level of criticism however I don't think dragging anyone from the roof of a train and giving them a scheme booting whilst they lay on the floor was a proportionate response. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want dragged off a train then don't act like a twat. People struggling to get by aren't going to take kindly to being stopped from earning a living.

I think anyone who kicks someone on the deck is a complete scumbag. But I'd rather the public took them off the train than waste more police resources on them having to go and remove them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will have caused a bigger headache for the police than if the police had removed the 2 protestors - they now have large scale public order to deal with and identify at least 10 folk from one clip, that could take months. If you see someone breaking the law call the police rather than take things into your own hands 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 To paraphrase a tweet from Jon McClure (Reverend and the makers)...XR want the working class on their side, don’t disrupt them, don’t come across middle class fuckwits and target those in power, punch up not down. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
