Well, that's what I thought too. Maybe they're gaining a sense of
reality?

In real life, there will not be an enquiry, nobody will sue
anyone and no compensation will be awarded - I'd happily bet £500 on
that, if anyone's up for it.

An interview on Sky News had a police officer saying they were
convinced there was no chase going on, suggesting people are already
beginning to question whether the security guards might have
'caused' the incident.

My comments were of course not just about this once incident.

The radio news reported that security guards do not give chase on the
railway because of the danger from live rails and trains.
