I say the bloke was a knob, and full marks to Miriam Margolyes.

I'll take two nights alone with Churchill and Thatcher - no questions asked
Without wishing to be disrespectful - they are both dead - is that the attraction?

No amount of impoliteness or lack of etiquette is justification for assault. I still hope he presses charges. I would.
Whilst she didn't have a right to demand the seat good manner suggest it should have been offered.

Unless it was marked as a priority seat and she was 100% certain the younger man sat in has no form of disability or injury (which she wouldn't if she didn't know him) then I don't see how she thought she had any right to try and get him to move.
It was tongue in cheek reply to the post above mine... You have yet to know the depths of my humour
Sorry - don't agree.
It's first come first serve on a train and you don't know how long the young man in question was going to be on the train for.
Disgraceful behaviour by Margolyes. If she's that bothered about securing a seat perhaps she should book ahead and reserve one.
If she is in such poor physical health that she needs to carry water everywhere should she really have risked tipping it over someone? Ha ha.
Does that go for all the campaigning that they did for the Stephen Lawrence family? Was that shoddy journalism at best? Yes the Daily Mail is a Tory Party supporting paper but that doesn't make it a bad newspaper.
As someone who suffers from a hidden disability, I find this behaviour disgusting - there are a number of conditions which aren't visible and the effects can vary in severity.
Also, if she'd tipped that water over me, the after effects (being on a cold station hours from home) would have probably caused me to be bedridden for days after - I'd definately be taking action.

The Mail is a terrible paper - one decent and worthy campaign does not wash away the tide of crud they spout forth on a daily basis!
The Mail isn't bad because it's Tory - the Torygraph isn't a terrible paper but has that leaning. It's bad because it largely spouts misinformed drivel.
On occasions they do print some sense, but I'm with DarloRich in that it is mostly rubbish.

Observer said:The initial Mail approach was to treat the campaign with hostility. Mr Austin, who no longer works for the Mail, said yesterday: I was detailed to write a story knocking the campaign.
During the interview with the family, Mr Lawrence asked what would appear and made inquiries about the Mail editor. He asked if he was a tall, balding man with a house in Islington. It emerged he had worked for Mr Dacre some 10 years previously. Mr Austin advised the dead boys father to contact Mr Dacre directly. It is understood that there was a phone call to Mr Dacre at about this time.
The following day my instructions were suddenly changed, Mr Austin said. I was told by the news desk to forget the previous instructions and that they now wanted a positive story. Mr Austin felt the original approach undermined the familys case because it implied that their grievances were not to be taken seriously.
.... [T]he reaction is way overboard to say the least.
On both occasions I've called the police at a train station, local plod has turned up to deal with it.
Excuse me for asking but . . . . what is a train station?
You shouldn't have to be asked.............

I thought it was equal rights these days?Whilst she didn't have a right to demand the seat good manner suggest it should have been offered.
Been asked saves me the embarrassment of coming across patronising. My cousin would be offended at someone assuming she is not capable and desperate for a seat.
