Unfortunately I can't watch the video here but if the description is correct
they would have had to call the police if he'd done it to me cos I'd have
decked him.

The way to prevent this situation recurring is to make it illegal for
members of the public to film Underground staff... er, in order to prevent
terrorism.

Armstrong & Miller have it right with their RAF characters. A guy gets
sworn at after holding the train doors open and everyone goes mad that
he has to have compensation.

Then, when the compensation is paid out, people go mad saying iy is too
much!

The guard got a bit wound upl but everyone got home and no one got
hurt. So forget about it Chavs! Stop looking for compo for everything!

He wasn't a guard - sadly, there are no such things any more. He was a CSA -
that stands for 'Customer Service Assistant', not 'Rude Ignorant ****'.

No one is asking for compensation as far as I can tell, just that the idiot
is reprimanded/disciplined for his boorish, vile behaviour towards someone
he is meant to be 'serving'.

That was not recent. He was suspended almost as soon as this video was
brought to LUL's attention, AIUI.
