He seemed very athletic in the way he vaulted the railing, do you think he'd been coached?

I'd be making bus company puns too...


But everyone's got there First.

It does make you wonder why bullying isn't a criminal offence.


It sort of actually is.

"Assault" is a very misused term - legally it means, basically, making someone worried that they will imminently be unlawfully hurt. You don't have to touch them to be guilty of this. So "I'm going to do your face in at lunchtime" is an assault and could and should get you 6 months in prison.

"Battery" is when you actually do lamp someone. You then slide up the scale through wounding, ABH and up to GBH. And all the way up to murder these days, of course.

HOWEVER - the police hate having to sort out shit between kids. I've actually heard senior policemen on the Today programme complaining about their officers having to "waste their time" with calls to school playground altercations.

You heard it here, kids - it's basically legal for you to deck anyone you like at school. Unless you hospitalise someone, you won't get touched. But woe betide the person who gets remotely lairey at a copper - that's an assault charge right there. They're very sensitive souls.

I see the story started out on the BBC, but if I want to read any more I'll buy the National Express.

Maybe he was just reaching over the barriers because he dropped his Double Decker?

It's sad, really. One minute the world's your oyster....

Perhaps he misunderstood how you touch in for bus journeys.

The puns are really getting a bit tyred now.

I know. I'm exhausted. I bet the Stagecoach execs are fuming over this negative publicity, though.

Is there a timetable for this sort of thing?

At least it wasn't terminal.
