Incident On Eurostar Train.

I wonder what ABers will make of this. The story varies from paper to paper, as you'd expect.

Surprisingly, David Icke's report is more comprehensive and fair than some of the others.

Pasta, like a lot of these stories, we don't really know what went on. He seemed to be sitting in a non-restaurant seat when the video was taken. Many English buses and trains carry warnings about abusive behaviour from the public, and it might have been that he was abusive and non co-operative. We just don't know. I am sure that trains don't make unscheduled stops without good reason. And the police in France don't go alone into potentially dangerous situations. I'm surprised that the UK media didn't make more fuss about the flics being armed. All the French cops I have seen - gendarmes or town bobbies - wear guns on their hip, so that wouldn't have been surprising.

Eurostar trains don't have restaurant cars. Meal service is to normal seating within Standard Premier and Business Premier.
"COC stops" (i.e. additional stops to remove passengers failing to conform with the operators' conditions of carriage) aren't actually that uncommon on the railways. (Well, they weren't when I ran a railway station anyway although, in order to keep trains running on time, controllers obviously like to keep them to a minimum). Police assistance is also called on quite often for such stops.

Buen; Eurostar trains have a coach with a bar which sells sandwiches, drinks, crisps etc. The first class would serve meals at your seat.
Perhaps he was sitting in a first class seat, but it didn't look like that to me. Ah well, we don't know.
Douglas; thank Douglas we don't have mobs! No football crowds, no statue fellers, no ........... :-)

I suspect that there might be more to this than the type of mask. If he was approached and questioned about not masking and became abusive, then things might have become a bit tense and escalated. We don't know.
Fortunately, we don't have French-haters mobbing this post.
I think that I have been a bit of a hypocrite posting this story as, when I look into my heart, I was probably hoping to flush out the little Englanders and xenophobes or Francophobes.
Shame on me.

Have a problem, there is no first class.

This thread was just started by you hoping to get some anti French rhetoric wasn't it?
