This really isn’t news, rather just ‘Kent’/London ‘burbs. Feel bad for the woman but Christ knows why RR saw fit to post it on EA.

I think the idea is to be provocative and attract attention.

The woman was on the TV last night. She seems ok. Pretty shaken and bruised though.

This is shocking!

I think it's clear. Fake liberals and the softly-softly approach to raising kids is making them all stabby and shove-y.

Also, this:

Elite bankers don't take the subway for this very reason.

If she would have minded her own business, and not taken it upon herself to be the smoke police she wouldn't have gotten thrown on the tracks.
I imagine she she had a serious attitude coming at these dudes if they threw her on the tracks like that.

This makes me like London all the more people are to wimpy in New York to do this type of thing any more.

Bravo London!

Discription of the men: wearing white pants, white shirts, durby's and combat boots. A Flock of seagulls cd was found on the scene.

The laws against smoking on train platforms were introduced in a pretty direct response to fires in the Oxford street station and enforced properly after the Kings Cross fire that killed 31 people when some doofus dumped his cigarette butt at the bottom of an escalator. I smoke, but I can manage to hold off for my commute - as can 99.9 percent of people using the system. I personally hope that they catch the little cowards and give them a decent thrashing.

I hope the old lady doesn’t let this put her off confronting little shits in the future too.

On a completely unrelated topic, a friend who works at Burberry was teling me how they are attempting to curb the proliferation of knockoffs and unlicensed use of the plaid pattern, because of the bad element (aka rowdy British youth) wearing them. The company feels like they are cheapening the brand.

Some of their strategies are baffling.
