LOL... Cherie's here. Good luck TS, it's been a pleasure................

i think there may be more security due to covid. There was a security guard at the shopping centre i visited recently and that was never the case before. He did absolutely nothing even though people were not wearing masks, but thats another story

Umm I would have won this year clearly, but I opted out and also I think it got cancelled because we all hate each other.

I was only going to vote if we could give minus points tbh

Security at McDonald’s is fairly normal I thought? Especially late at night when your customers are predominately those going home from a night out

Reminds me of a forum I used to be on where there was a reputation system where you got "green gems" under your name, but you could also "neg" and it went into a negative scale of "red gems"... so of course there was competition to have the most red gems.

I've literally never seen it up here but then, I don't think I've ever been in a McDonalds later than maybe 10pm.

My KFC-bouncers experience was at like 6pm . Also it was 2018 I think, so well pre-Covid.

The McDonald’s on princes street usually had them lol

[Niamh.]

They definitely had bouncers in Burger King when I was a teenager, I don't think McDonalds stayed open late back then, oh and there was an Abrakebabra that stayed open late and they had bouncers too

Could have done with them in the "all-night bakery" up in Dundee when I was a student to be fair - that place at 2am was full on Mad Max sometimes. Didn't help that it was actually in a warehouse type building on a random industrial estate nowhere near anything else. But it would have queues of students 50+ long from midnight - 3am .

[Babayaro.]

Ahhh the 24-hour bakery went there after my first legal night out

Surely when you are assaulted you should do everything you can to keep your assailant down, incase they get back up and try again.

I don't think the "I murdered them because they threw a drink on me and I didn't want them to do it again" defense really stacks up in court.

You should respond with force that's proportionate to the situation. If someone is trying to kill you - do whatever it takes to keep them from doing that. If someone breaks into your house in the night by all means kick 'em down the stairs.

But no, responding to someone hitting/slapping/throwing something at you with GBH is not proportionate. Don't kick someone in the head unless you're ready for the consequences of them dying or suffering permanent disability - because they might.

…this is really weird…(…and disturbing obviously…)…I don’t know what to make of it…there is a clearer vid on YouTube and the whole thing is very much ‘goaded’ and being laughed at…no concern from anyone filming it for her safety and at one little point it feels as though the ‘security person’ was laughing with them…as if it was all set up…I honestly just don’t know if it’s real or not but it’s pretty awful, obviously…the vid was posted by a YouTube ‘news channel’ so far as I can see but I don’t quite understand these things…maybe to create interest and shock value for their channel and to draw in views…?…anyways, having the baton would be a crime anyway…let alone using it…even security guards, if he indeed is one…are surely not legally allowed to carry or have a weapon of any sort…it’s all a bit weird and something feels a bit off….

if this was a cop we would have riots and blood on the streets.
He should lose his job and never work in security again.

Yes it does look like a set up
Having a baton - is strange for UK.
Is it a rough part of town?


This one did not hit Main TV news

…it just feels as though it could have possibly all been staged to create interest in a new ‘YouTube news channel’…I might be wrong but at various points each one of them seemed to be laughing and cheering, very odd behaviour…obviously a disturbing ‘attack’ but it’s hard to know if it was a real attack…


…security guards are t allowed to legally have weapons let alone to use one…they have no authority to be ‘armed’ in any way…that would be a terrifying thought also…

…the West Midland’s police have said that they’re aware of the vid circulating and are appealing for witnesses etc and trying to ascertain its authenticity etc…there is a train of though also that it is in fact a real reaction from the guard….?…and she was goaded to throw the drink by the people filming it and feeling an ‘assurance of protection’ from them if anything became threatening toward her …but that their intention was to just film any violence etc for the purpose ‘for likes’ and literally throw her under a baton…(…she may have emotional vulnerabilities…)…so I don’t know in all honesty, something just doesn’t fit right with any of it…but it’s all just speculation and I’m not sure whether the police will be able to shed any further light….
