Problem with the story is public perception will think its ok to do what fat man done and in another incident the "have a go hero" will either get slapped down or prosecuted.

There is an old saying that is very apt for this story. Two wrongs dont make a right.

Could it have been handled better? Of course it could and hindsight is a wonderful thing - but we are commenting on what did actually take place - not what 'should have'.

I believe he was fare dodging and I look forward to ScotRail investigating this - given his claim that he was sold 2 one way tickets for the same journey. That is think is nothing more than a cock and bull story - as is his claim that he wasn't allowed to get his bag - that was very clearly lifted from where he was sitting and put off the train right behind him.

I'm sure the boyo knows he's lying through his teeth.......and now that it's reached this level, he realised what a complete fool he has made of himself.

As for the publicity this has been given: I'm glad it has received it - because it seems too often that people (regardless of age) think they can say what they like to someone else, think it's fine to do what they like without consequence.
