He's not exactly at the bottom of the social ladder.
Yes but how many of them are go around lying through their teeth: are recorded doing it, have it followed up in the press and continue their lies to the point that he's used every excuse in the book to try to deflect from his own breaking of the law?

I read earlier that it's reported in an newspaper that he HAD the correct ticket (Daily Record I think it was) - funny how that's not been shown....perhaps that got lost in amongst all the lies he is spinning - along with the bag that he claimed he wasn't allowed to get which then he admitted in another report, that he did in fact have his bag: whilst trying to blame someone else for a situation that was of his own making.

It's a thing that has been blown way out of proportion, and it's basically because of "the big man" wading in. He is the one to blame.

There would have nothing to have been blown out of proportion if

1. The yob had the correct ticket and not tried to lie his way out of it
2. The yob hadn't spent a good 5 mins or so verbally abusing the conductor
3. The yob did as he was asked to do: get off the train.

Everything occurred as a direct result of the yob's actions.

No.

It's all the big mans fault. And partly the ticket inspector. He should be fired and big man arrested.
