Karrie,

It seems very likely that the young man in the video does have a mental health problem, perhaps undiagnosed. The degree and length of the outburst is different from the short, staccato flip-outs that many of us have had when pushed. The very fact the other passengers stayed calm and did not get involved in a fight with him suggests that they knew he was unwell and not your average disgruntled passenger. I found the action of the two potty-mouthed trendies nearly as disturbing as that of the 'star' of the video, unable to hide their glee at being able to film their very own potentially-viral YouTube hit.

Yeah whatever...


He's quite tidily dressed though & I do like the way he minces away


( I wonder if he was saying "er, did you just walk through a glass door, of a bus, wiv out a scratch " to himself )


Still he's probably settled down now with a dog & a cat and a very understanding partner in Penge



"Get out my face, like those days are sooo over yeah "



W**F

Sadly occurrences like this only seem to be getting worse. Normally fuelled by racist behavior. Of the 7-8 incidents I've seen on buses in the last 3 months or so, about 5 of them have been racially motivated and usually occur on the just going into Peckham or entering Camberwell


I hope they catch him, I always get on the bus with my toddler in her pushchair. If this happened when I was on there I would have a toddler totally frightened. This has happened to us before and she was absolutely hysterical and we weren't allowed off the bus either. Really unfair on commuters and I specially hate this behavior in front of children. It does happen, a lot!

Personally I watch that and feel a bit disturbed and a bit sad.


I could give it the big one and say I'd have intervened but if I'm honest I probably wouldn't, I'd have been a bit scared. Something clearly kicked the guy off (someone saying slag in his face according to what he says) but the guys filming it and laughing at someone clearly a bit screwed up.. not great. This behaviour may be unfair on others - "unfair on commuters" - but at a guess the person losing the plot would rather it wasn't happening too, he didn't look happy to me anyway.

If he refused to pay his fare, the bus driver would of refused to drive as they do, and someone waiting to get somewhere would of got involved. His name and address and have been popping up all over websites online, the same name every time, he is obviously a troublemaker. Hope the police have got him now. Got himself famous though hey, I suppose thats what matters *sigh*

      ED Nature Watch

      By first mate · Posted

      I have read conflicting accounts, some say the Peckham Rye pond chelonians are fresh water turtles others that they are red-eared terrapins. As well as terrapins, there are reports of Musk Turtles, a non native, fresh water turtle species also being released into the wild. They are also better equipped to survive our winters and do not seem to need to bask as much as terrapins. Perhaps we have both. I have not been able to see them close enough to observe markings.

      Peckham Rye Gala Festival set up/ pack down

      By first mate · Posted

      If you look in the Gala thread someone posted a map of the event site, which has larger footprint than before. The build has already started and will now continue until the event. Dismantling is due to end 1st June, I think.

      Great to See the Community Engaged – Thoughts on More Green Spaces

      By Pugwash · Posted

      I have been involved with our local Residents' Association and also the East Dulwich Community Centre since the early 1980s. Both organisations initially had good attendance and representation from the local community but over the past few years so called 'community minded people' are more interested in social media/WhatsApp Groups and discussing things on line rather than meeting in person. The EDF is a very good source of local knowledge and I use it frequently for various reasons but it is no substitute for person to person engagement. I also help out at an over 55 age group which meets weekly for 2 hours and it is noticeable that the majority of attendees are those who frequently use social media sites, but have come to the conclusion that face to face contact is essential for their well being.  There are organisations in ED which put on social events, most are family friendly. for free or low cost where neighbours/friends can meet up - you do not need additional green spaces for this to happen.
