The Rude Punk is on BBC News.



Its gone Global.

The video continues with the student protesting his innocence and claiming that he showed the ScotRail employee his ‘*********g ticket’ while a group of stunned young children sit close by with their furious mother.
But the conductor adds: 'No you have not. Stop swearing.'

The Rude Punk had this Coming

[Niamh.]

I'm sure whatever rights Scotrail had to prosecute him for not having a ticket, have now been invalidated by the way the conductor handled the situation.

[Vicky.]

I hope to god this guy tries to do the same thing in the future...with someone his OWN size...and gets knocked the **** out.

Then again, I doubt he would even have got involved if the person in question wasnt a weedy little teenager tbh

Yes it has been a very long time since we all had a proper debate. At least this has given us something to talk about. Seems to have totally polarized opinions too, no-one is on the fence

I was a bit confused by him being referred to as publicly funded and a public servant as well, the rails were privatised years ago?

[Omah]

The Big Man was right to throw the little man off the train

[Niamh.]

or should that be PTL .... nah, it's definately a real LOL. !!

I think a bit of humour injection was needed on this thread - cool it down a wee bit as it's so easy to get overheated but it's been a great debate when all is said and done.

A few other points to note now it is being investigated is that if the conductor had followed Scotrail official policy - ask to pay, offer bill to be sent home etc, then train goes on way with transport police informed.

Not only would the passengers not have been inconvenienced.

Have a go Hero wouldnt be being investigated for a possible assault.

Yob wouldnt be looking at getting away without paying and the possibility of some compo. (And if Mr Pillock{sic} does get prosecuted yob will get something for his war wounds).

In the event of some form of punishment being meted out to Mr Pollock for his intervention the message sent out to other fare dodgers suddenly changes from that of "we the public wont put up with it any longer" to "do it if you want coz if anyone twats you for it you get compo"

According to the newspaper report: the conductor did offer him the option of paying.

'We are investigating the incident, which appears to show a person travelling without a valid ticket, refusing to pay for the journey, and swearing at a staff member in full view of customers

I asked you earlier if you believed for one second if the conductor had suggested billing his home address: do you think for one second that the yob would have provided it? I don't need to think twice about that.....I'd bet my house that he would not have done so.

Pyr you are still focusing in on the yob's behaviour, everyone admits it was wrong. I am not disagreeing with you on that.

My point is the conductor should have allowed the train to go on its way without further escalation, he should have informed Transport police and then let them deal with the youth. Thats their job not his and certainly not Mr Pollocks.

Whether or not the youth would have provided his home address is open to conjecture, however the conductor's actions were wrong as were Big Mans.

As I said earlier two (in fact three) wrongs dont make a right

I don't necessarily disagree with your comment re the conductor - I do disagree with you on the Big Man's stance. (Mr Pollock).

The lad that Filmed it was just on Radio 5

He said after he was removed they all started talking
one bloke was a Lawyer he gave his card to the big man.

Also this went on for 10mins
even before he started his mobile to film it.

I like the final part here: that it went of for 10mins prior to it being filmed.

I'd love to hear the full story.

Mr Main told BBC Radio Scotland's Call Kaye programme: "I was given no time to explain myself. It wasn't even an argument.

"There was a discussion with me trying to explain myself for about a minute and then the conductor started shouting at me," he said.

10 minutes or 1 ?

He also said he was diabetic, had not eaten much all day and had not slept the night before because he had been studying.

The student admitted he had been drinking before the incident, but said he was not drunk.

Diabetic, drinking on an empty stomach - does he even remember what he was doing on the train ?
