[Spicerack]

I know who's side I'm on but I'll wait and see which way the thread goes.

I'm with the driver. No if's no buts.

Ultra liberalism has got us where we are today. And it's not about to get better. Feral youths? yes from that clip and their behaviour they do appear that way.

[SparklyKid]

In my younger days the worst thing we did was "knock a door and run away" Not showing off to my mates by running in front of a bus scaring the driver and passengers.

[Mamyalynne]

I'm sure many are 'with the driver' to the extent of understanding how a stressful and frightening situation can cause a temporary loss of control, his regret shows he knows that.

[SparklyKid]

He was totally in control and did the thing to reprimand the idiot with a quick slap. Of course he is going to say he regrets it. Spur of the moment type of thing, I very much doubt it is a sincere apology.

[Mamyalynne]

Gosh, you're making him sound like a very unpleasant fellow.

[SparklyKid]

A conscientious coach driver with a responsibility for the safety of his passengers encounters a group of young idiots one of which thinks his mates will find it funny if he runs in front of the vehicle.

[Mamyalynne]

I haven't defended the boy once during this long thread, of course his actions were irresponsible,dangerous and stupid.

[retrocop]

This little bloke wouldn't try this stunt in front of a French bus driver.

// Slapping a child is not going to teach him that running in the road is stupid and dangerous,//
yes I think it will
I note both 'look' North African
I also note that only the second part of the 'prank' was on the internet and not the bit where he runs out into the road

and yup I can verify algerians and tunisians will clout unruly children

[Peter Pedant]

yeah signed
the words complained of are
ferme ta guele et conduis ton bus
( shut your mouth and drive)
whilst all his little frenz giggled ....

[retrocop]

submitted (I think.Oh well brought out the rusty French) but I think they know delinquant in reason for signing :-)

[retrocop]

Couldn't find UK,Grand Bretange, or Angleterre in the drop down box. Do they know something I don't like they have got the hump with Theresa today and Brexited me?

[Ellipsis]

I'm a la recherche du temps perdu after this lot ...

retro - I clicked on youm-uni (can't spell the 'youm' bit), remember it was used in the Eurovision Song Contest ....

[Mamyalynne]

le Royaume-Uni ?

[andy-hughes]

I remain utterly dumfounded that there are adults posting on here who appear to actually believe that a child being assaulted by a complete stranger is going to learn a lesson about stupid behaviour.

It simply beggars belief!

[Mamyalynne]

Not really sure why you're astounded Andy, threads on this topic always have for for and against - they all blur into one eventually.
