I must admit, I did half expect to hear the line "Blimey, what are these?" last week.

Have you seen the shape of that new sonic screw driver?

My mate down the pub reckons that no one who spent 1500 years as a bloke and suddenly transforms into a rather attractive woman would embark straight away on an adventure. A bit of me time first, surely?

If there is one universal truth, it is this.

55,000 people sign petition calling online London Mayor to install a statue of Stephen Lawrence in Trafalgar Square

LcaNyto, California, United Kingdom, about 11 hours ago

Agreed!

I'm not sure that Trafalgar Square needs any more statues, but I doubt that's the Mailites' objection.

Doctor Who takes on racism and the civil rights movement as new Time Lord Jodie Whittaker meets bus heroine Rosa Parks

I'm not a racist, but....

And frankly, it was one of the best hour (well, 50 minutes) of television I've seen this year.

They're going to hate it.

Also a fair few Doctor Who fans.

As expected, the Mailites aren't exactly rushing to fully condemn his actions...

He clearly has a screw loose, possibly even early stages of dementia, yes his behaviour was awful but there maybe a reason behind it,

Although I completely abhor what he said to the poor lady and hope she's ok. I also dislike this culture of secret recordings and broadcasting everything to the world. That goes for everything such as this to parking wrongly. Hate this Big brother society. He should've been removed and dealt with accordingly instead.

Watch the full video and you will see that neither party behaved well. But more importantly, WHY are verbal disagreements being given such huge coverage?

He used to he polite and pleasant and now behaves oddly in his old age. Leave it to authorities to speak to him, he may already be known to social services for dementia or similar. Have seen folks with dementia act with awful behaviour as their brain no longer functions with any filter or understanding.

these days everyone has to keep their behavior in order whilst in public because if recorded you can become infamous overnight! this guy will probably need Police protection and moving/ hiding considering how volatile and vengeful society is; i would not like to be him...

No Lou, the reason everyone has to keep their behaviour in order in public is because THATS WHAT BEING FUCKING CIVILISED MEANS!

I'm thinking a Pakistani Dr. Who would be rather good. We could get the bloke that plays Citizen Khan to do it.

[Safe_Timber_Man]

I'm assuming most of you have seen the video he's referring to? If not I'll post it below. It's gone viral and the little prick responsible is being investigated now.

Just a warning. It's fucking horrible. I'm seen far more violent and brutal videos on the internet but there's something about this one that is absolutely heart wrenching. From his complete resignation of the situation to his long lonely walk away. As usual the tabloids partly responsible for this current climate are washing their hands of responsibility and acting outraged:

This poor kid has already been through absolute hell in his short life and was meant to come here to find a safe place to live and grow up and he's faced with this? I don't care if that little prick bully is a minor. He's old enough to do shit like this so he's old enough to face whatever consequences are coming his way.

Those Great British values at work. Makes you proud. Gawd bless our truth-seeking press and our fearless politicians and other odious conceited little thugshits who enact and enable such cruelty.
