Don’t get it
May I recommend the red pill?
The lad filming is an absolute twat - but the fuel is all put on the fire by the self appointed rule-maker who intervenes first. She is one of those people reveling in her sense of self importance & through bullsh*tting, hinders rather than helps this situation. Similar to the kind of idiot in a yellow bib in a car park, who causes more harm by their own presence.
Because someone without authority to do so is illegally trying to move him on. He was fine until then.
The guy comes across as a bit of an idiot and the players handled it well. I also think the lady telling him that the part of the platform was now private was completely wrong.
They don't have the right to privatize part of the platform like that.
Yes, the guy is a twat, but he only started becoming aggressive when he was asked to move, at first he was ok IMO.
He is within his rights to stand anywhere in that platform.
This idiot got what he wanted...

If it wasn't a private platform, then he is within his rights to be there (and Virgin often do have private sections of the platform, and it's difficult to tell if this was the case from that video, but it doesn't really matter anyway), but once he starts being a nuisance - and he was, he sticks the phone right in Fellaini's face, which he swats away, indicating that he is being an unwanted nuisance - the staff have the authority to act....
It depends if Virgin have private area's of platforms (which they do apparently) and if this incident took place in that area. I think she said "this part of the platform is now private" indicating that they weren't in a designated space for 'private' passengers.The lady was just trying to get rid of him as quick as possible.
Do we actually know they don't have the right to privatise the platform though? I'm pretty sure they could, although I don't think they actually did.
He doesn't actually, the platform is private property owned by network rail, legally in the UK you can film people in a public place like a street, but you can't film on private property without owner's permission. That's why they're able to say it's suddenly a private platform, because network rail own it.
No expert by any means but i'm not sure that would apply somewhere like a train station. You can put up signs saying no filming/taking pictures etc and ask someone doing so to leave. But if you have CCTV in operation which the train company almost certainly does then people entering the station can expect no privacy outside of places like toilets anyway. So the guy while acting a twat was probably within his rights to film people.
Are we still doing this?
Let's all switch sides and start again. I have another four hours on this shift.
Is this common practice? I thought teams usually charter jets.
It's cheaper I'd give you that. But how can you claim it's faster , except for a place in the vicinity of Manchester? The team would not go through the usual airport procedure if it is chartering a jet.Not only is it faster, cheaper and less likely to have a traffic related issue, the clubs probably also have a carbon footprint target as most big corporations do. Trains are the lesser of all evils when it comes to transport.
Have seen a few of these types on youtube, insisting that they have the right to film people up close and generally act complete morons.
On another note though, it didn't look like we actually had any security there. Has to be a bit of a risk, having your whole squad going on public transport like that?! Though you presume we did have some sort of privileged access?

I've seen a lot of people who do that with the police to see if they know the law with regards to filming in public. There's an American guy who does all over the U.S. He calls it a First Amendment Audit.Have seen a few of these types on youtube, insisting that they have the right to film people up close and generally act complete morons.

I do think it's important that people understand their rights when it comes to the police. Just because they're wearing the uniform it doesn't automatically mean you have to do what they say. Unless you're suspected of committing a crime they don't have any rights over you and what you do.
In this case of course there is an argument to say that the man in question is causing an offence by harassing Fellaini. He's also following the squad around the platform it seems.
Scouser hates police shock.

It becomes an issue though when these security conscious days start to infringe upon our rights. The right to record in public (and to record the police) is important for both officers and members of the public.I watched one youtube guy hanging about outside a police station filming the set up, individuals and vehicles.
You can imagine in these security conscious days how much alarm that caused.
I'm not a scouser. I spent most of my life living about 45 miles outside of London.Scouser hates police shock. 'I found these BMW wheels guv, honest, I was just taking them home until I found out who they belonged to'.
That's a hard question for me to answer as I'm not the sort of knobhead that gets involved in altercations with the police. All my personal experiences have been positive up to now, including the absolute shedloads of times I've witnessed the police in action whilst working and elsewhere. I don't mean I'm a saint, they've caught me fighting, vandalising, driving badly, and being drunk and extremely incapable, but I've always admitted I was wrong and been let off with an educational lecture and a warning. A lot of people have difficulty admitting they're wrong though, which I think is the root of many problems.I'm not a scouser. I spent most of my life living about 45 miles outside of London.
I don't hate the police either but it's important for people to know their rights. If you'd been involved in some sort of altercation with an officer wouldn't you prefer that there be some video evidence to clarify exactly what happened?
See I've never really had any involvement with the police myself. I see a bit of a mix on social media of people intentionally winding them up, and then other cases when it's the officer(s) who's out of line.That's a hard question for me to answer as I'm not the sort of knobhead that gets involved in altercations with the police.

But my life may have been atypical, how's it been for you?

True but I wouldn't class filming the police in public as intentionally aggravating them (unless you're shoving it in their face, following them around and generally harassing them). Filming the police certainly isn't illegal if you're in public.There's a big difference in what you're saying though, and people intentionally going out to aggravate police and others.
was probably @duffer

Why are they taking a public train anyways, can't they get a more relaxing trip back after a game in a private coach?
