I believe Jack Kelly has a job title something like External Affairs Manager.

That's good to hear. On a more lighthearted note, this totally bizarre article on the matter describes the attackers as getting off the bus at the "Eco-friendly gentleman" in Harborne:

I had intense difficulty reading that article, Mike. And what the heck is that website? It's disturbed me slightly.

Yes LS it is bizarrely disturbing. I just googled the subject to see if the offenders had been caught. That was one of the hits that came up. There's a whole load of weird s**t out there in cyberspace.

The article has clearly been translated into another language, then translated back (rather badly) into English.

The website itself is probably well-meaning, but it appears the 'news' section has been hijacked by spammers, as the articles are just useless or recycled information with lots of links.

disgusting it is, the worst things the people who have done it are around my age which makes it even worse. I've worked as a chef since the age of 16, always been at work and people who attack people for sweet f a is just horrible I see it often. I mean the country is in a bad state, young peoples attitude is just wrong, I see it at work when people come in to the pub. I just don't get why it happened. A request to stop kids throwing something?? crazy
you cant do anything anymore with out being judged on something, and then you get these guys attacking people for nothing. what's the bet they don't work, and just claim from the government who is more than happy to give out money we haven't got to people who cant be bothered to get out and do something.

I could go on about this but its just another reason to not feel safe on a bus, its bad enough going through certain areas of bham at night as some of you on here will probably agree with me, but this happened in daylight which makes it even worse.

I suppose its becoming a more of a less rare thing at the moment.

Saw that earlier too, great news! He was 35 though? You'd expect better from someone that age (only a couple of years younger than me!)

The Scum of today is like a virus it spreads and spreads...even into areas you'd least expect it...Youngsters, Pensioners, Religious (supposedly) people they are all at it and for the few (as in this case) that get 'aired' or prosecuted there are loads more doing the same thing and 'getting away with it!'

Quoted for truth.

It's totally disgusting how it is.

And the usual one is they argue about the DATE with you!

"Excuse me, your Daysaver is out of date."

"No it's not."

"It's not the 18th February today..."

"Yeah it is!!!" (By this point they're raving mad)

"Sir. It's the 22nd February today. Get off the bus you're not travelling."

And then expect a bus load of absurdities from the mouth of a 12 year old prepubescent gobshite. Naturally done up in "Henleys" branded chavvy clothes and without a doubt a pocket full of skunk. (That's not to offend Henleys clothes wearers, of course. Suppose it makes a change from generic grey prison-standard tracksuit)

That's a true story from earlier today. Shame what crap our ("Our" in the sense of "Genuine Passengers") drivers have to put up with. And then you get the drivers who don't check them, but you can't win either way.
