If this is true then i hope the unions get involved. I do think all staff should have the right to defend themselves and these drunks got what they deserved

Doubtful - the press would be all over it.

Generally, things are rarely so clear-cut...

It is highly unlikely that something like this would not be somewhere on the News sites. Where did you originally hear this?

Hes got a point though. I has exactly the same qualities that the thread you started says.

Right so you are stating something as fact that you heard on Facebook yet in another thread are telling people that you shouldn't believe anything unless you hear it from the managing directors mouth.

You still don't get irony do you?

What exactly is he 'on trial' for if nobody is pressing charges? Do you know how the legal system works?

That sounds like reporting to me, but with no source, something you were compaining about only this morning.

In that case, other threads you don't agree with the content of are also open for discussion without you moaning in them.

Nobody has called you a liar, people are just asking for a source which is more than pure rumour and speculation, thats all.

if you have nothing usefull to bring to the table other that moaning at the OP then dont bloomin post

If I was you, I would expect that to be quoted back at you in the future in other threads ;):)

I believe there is something in this, was being discussed loudly by LM Euston barrier staff Tuesday night, but I don't have any details.

Why thank you; of course I want your grace to lock a thread.

If/when some concrete proof of this emerges (for example a news story), a fresh thread can be started.
