I started by saying the security staff were heavy-handed. What I'm discussing is the pre-escalation which the Doctor has some responsibility for. I do not condone his poor treatment; but whose old pappy would act in such a belligerent manner that it required physical removal?

I also think his apparently unconscious removal saw him firmly grasping his apple iphone...

I would say me protesting my stay, gives me the upper hand, they want me off, they can compensate me and not just a couple of hundred quid!
I don't believe you would have acted in the manner of this man. Besides, we know you can be bought off
