Your answer is the reason he should have thrown her to the ground. She ain’t in Kansas, and that Guard was well within his rights. Drag her away, and that would have been a lesson to her.

Simple History on YT about the guards. I guess it’s close.

Would the guard have been as forceful if she had been a muzzie? Doubt it.

The rope is there for a reason and those guys stick to a very rigid schedule and set of rules.

Nope, that’s not how it works. It was totally justified and she should consider herself lucky that is all he did. He is a soldier. He will not talk to you. He has no obligation to walk around you. She’s lucky he didn’t put her on the ground a point his weapon at her while yelling. They have a job to do and you don’t get in their way. I’ve seen many similar videos, you don’t mess with these guys - another example for all to learn from.

You can’t sue as easily in the UK as here.

Saw this happen up close and personal with the Royal Dragoon detail in London. A group of teenaged tourists came too close to a mounted dragoon after repeated warnings to keep their distance. The Sergeant on duty came out of nowhere from behind me yelling with drawn saber. I never saw him coming, heard an unintelligible loud yell and hit the deck. I fully expected a terrorist attack at first.

He literally went in swinging at the crowd to get them away from the mount.

You are just dipshit stupid.>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Ask Her Majesty the Queen what she thinks of the “guard’s” conduct.

Thank God we kicked that kind of shit out of our country in 1776.

And keep your profanity in your panty hose.

No, she was an invitee, not a trespasser, and yes, you sure as hell can sue in the UK as easily as you can here.

Send the “guard” to the Golan with the UN, there his talents will not be panty wasted, where the people he pushes around might push back. Otherwise he’s just another bully in a red coat.They haven’t changed much since the Boston Massacre.

Oh please. She made entry into what is considered a restricted area. ergo the rope. No damages and no recourse in any English court. The Queen’s Guard walks ‘around’ no one. Move or get trampled, by man or horse, doesn’t matter. And so it has been for a thousand years.

They are GUARDS - not tourist attractions. Unless she is deaf, wouldn’t she have heard him approaching? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

maybe, maybe not.

He had all sorts of room to march around, a slight 24 inch detour. She was not a threat.

Bad behavior as far as I’m concerned.

I am not impressed at all.

Conduct unbecoming.

Good grief. It's not like he butt-stroked her with his rifle or anything.

He gave a verbal warning and a shove. Even after that, the woman stayed on the wrong side of the rope at which point the guard DID step around her.

Well, that’s the kind of $hit that got the red coats kicked out of America.

These were tourists and that’s not a perimeter in front of an arsenal, or a sensitive military installation.

I do not accept the proposition that civilians are peons.Typical British tripe. The Scots and Irish thought the same way, hundreds of years ago, and I think the same.

I’ve lived in 4 foreign countries. One rule I’ve learned is that every expat HATES tourists from his own country - often with good reason.

I never insinuated that civilians are peons. Some people are just unthinking dolts. If I'm anywhere in public and come upon a rope line I'm at least conscience enough to realize that it must be there for a reason.
