We heard earlier of the woman on the bus racist outburst, and now just to level things up a little, here's a man on a bus also being racist.

Nice spot AOG.
Anything to highlight racist abuse should be welcomed.
Have not been able to watch the video (firewall restrictions and all that).
Am mightily impressed with your vigour against racists!!
Seriously.
Will have a look at the link in a mo.
Incidentally, I wonder what TfL's policy is when passengers get abusive like this? I would've thought an immediate call to the police was in order.

SP, TfL doesn't exactly fare well itself when it comes to combatting racism.....

These attacks seem to be happening with increasing frequency. Remember that woman on the Jubilee Line earlier this year and then prior to that, there was the REALLY nasty woman also on a tube line, from last year?
I know at the time, some people put forward the idea that she might have been provoked, but that's irrelevant. People need to be able to control themselves in public, especially when there are children about.

The most appaling thing about this odious man's behaviour, is that he has his own child in a pushchair with him.
What sort of father is he, that shouts at strangers in from of his own baby?
Hopefully a similar arrest will follow as happened with the last incident of this type that we debated.
Hopefully no-one is going to step forward and infer that this elderly man brought this assault - verbal and physical - on himself through some previous un-filmed 'provocation'.

Well what a surprise, I have pointed out many times on here right-on liberalism that does not represent the views of many will result in a violent reaction.
People are fed up and now we see those who have really lost it saying their piece.
And what do we get on here? Oh yes the 'intellectuals' looking down on those that are perhaps not so articulate expressing themselves in the only way they can that they feel may make a difference.
Just watch it grow unless someone grabs this immigration issue by the nuts and sorts it.

Not trying to be rude or anything, but it seems like you have not read the link.
This was an old man with a zimmerframe being attacked.
There are many things that I personally find objectionable in life, but I am able to restrain myself. I just plug my headphones in, cue up a John Grant album and chill out.
I have a horrible feeling that AOG will accuse you of being an apologist for racism with your comments.
I'm sure like the rest of us, you are horrified by an attack on an elderly person by someone much younger - but your post suggests otherwise.
I might be reading it wrong though...
...through my intellectual eyes.

I don't see a pattern at all...or perhaps there is. In the last four cases (including this one), it seems that the attacker doesn't understand that over 70% of people in the UK have smartphones.
Devices capable of taking instant video.
Devices which can be used to post these videos to YouTube, Twitter, Facebook or whatever social media of choice.
Basically, three quarters of the people we encounter on public transport are journalists by proxy.
Perhaps the common factor in these stories is that the perpetrators are dumber than a box of hair?

There is a patently obvious pattern in the last 3 different clips of seperate videos shown over the last 3-4 days but I am not going to mention the obvious.
Perhaps there is a sudden concern amongst our well established entrepreneurs who have ruled the drug,pimping and prostitution rackets not to mention the relativeley new flim flam merchants that their turf might be taken over by our Muslim refugees who will be allowed into this country.
Well known the Albanians and Turks are doing well in their nefarious activities in N..W. London. Seven Sisters Road, Tottenham etc. Posing quite a threat to our usual suspects who think they rule the roost.
Yup. Rivers of Blood indeed. We didn't expect it may be between Africans and Asians though did we ?
Course that harmless narcotic Ganjah couldn't play a part with these brain dead mouthy apologies for civilisation!!!
Well this is a civilised country so why should we interfere with these civilised cultural differences.
As for having small children with them. It might be a bonus if they attend school long enough to learn English instead of bunking off to learn the trade of the apprentice in the hood, but not the Anglo Saxon we are getting here.
