How to know what is real or manufactured these days? Was watching this vid and I think soon began to think ‘amateur drama group’. Could be wrong and it’s the most polite ‘racist vs drunk’ interaction in history, but fake news is all the rage? Regardless, I was thinking that an age where social media clicks and likes are a main source of income for an increasing amount of people, do you think that deepfakes will become mainstream? Whatever ‘mainstream’ means now?
Yeah, fake.
The camera angle is too good / consistent, and they started filming before it all kicked off, and with exactly enough conversation captured in the video for all the context you need. It's a believable interaction, though. Perhaps until the well-spoken women speaks up.
Props to the lady! Whether its fake or not.
I think real- the am dram nature of it is due to them being pissed. Imagine having, or being so close to, such a vile argument in such a confined space! Must've been pre-Covid..
You do know that the Metro newspaper is owned by the Daily Mail. Need I say anymore.
interesting.
no winners there
yea fake btw but still great 🙂
Perhaps until the well-spoken women speaks up.
Interesting, as that’s the point to where I went ‘hang on a minute?’...
Pretty sure this is the real thing though. Not as POPULAR as Johnny Pickerin’ but a real verbally aggressive drunken twit is often both shocking and amusing 😬
(NSFW)
A woman again speaks up, and another one later gives care to the KO’d drunk.
Wow... he got properly laid out.
You do know that the Metro newspaper is owned by the Daily Mail. Need I say anymore.
So is the Metro the intercity rail-borne ‘woke’ branch of the Daily Heil? Or at least a ‘faux-woke’ (foke?) giveaway? Sort of like a loss-leader to direct as-yet-undecided centrist eyes ultimately to the Fathership?
i think that billy boy is possibly not very well?
What a great knockout. Shame they didn't aim a little lower and punch him in his neck, that would have stopped him ever ranting racist crap ever again.
Possibly the two having the argument fake, the lady speaking out real.
You can hear them both clearly which makes me think they have microphones on, she's a lot quieter when speaking as you get all the background noise picked up by the camera that's filming.
Wow. I do not condone violence, but those lads were heavily provoked.
Part of me is really, really impressed with that kid's punch and by the glass-ness of the racist's jaw. I am, however, more impressed with both the women that were calling him out and the woman that immediately went to help him, despite all the shit and vile garbage he'd been spouting.
Looks real enough to me seen this behaviour in pubs and trains sadly. They were also clearly arguing before the video started too, drinking on a train is hardly a big deal, being a racist prick is.
He was out before he hit the ground with no attempt to break his fall - lucky it was only plastic that he hit his head on.
Original one looks believable to me.
I think the one in the OP is real it's just that they knew it was being filmed so it's all a bit performative, welcome to modern life :-/
Pretty sure this is the real thing though.
'Chat shit get banged' was never more appropriate.
Neither are fake imo, the op's video is several years old.
There are some racist dicks about.
Billy Steele clearly has mental health problems.
@easily mental health is not the issue with him. He's clearly an uneducated idiot, bit like yourself really when coming out with a statement like that.
I myself have mental health issues and have many friends that suffer from MH issues and non of us are racist/homophobic/sexist ect.
That punch was right on the mark! And entirely deserved. I would have hugged the girl trying to defuse things afterwards, what a treasure.
Billy boy, though, I might have put my heel on his balls, and twisted, just to leave him with something else to think about later. What a dick.

Cocaine is a helluva drug.
Shall I be flippant or polite? Let's go with polite:
No offence intended captaincluntz, and I wasn't excusing his behaviour. Steele is barely coherent, most of what he says makes no sense at all.
Johnny Pickerin’
Ronnie Pickering.
^ I always misremember the ‘misheard version’ of Ronnie’s name, which his tormenter/the guy filming used to such explosive effect 🤣
‘****ing Johnny PickeRIN, someone FAMOUS are yer?’
Made me laugh so hard that it’s now lodged forever in my nugget as ‘****ing Johnny PickeREN!’
I think both are real.
First one, pissed up entitled tit decides that Johnny Foreigner is in the wrong and needs putting right. "Excuse me, but it's against the law to drink on the train" and if it gets nowhere then call the guard is probably how it should have gone if he is that bothered. The patronising xenophobic bullshit was bang out of order and the lady was right to pull him up on it.
I disagree that Billy Steele has mental issues. Thick as mince and probably coked up to boot, thoroughly deserved a smack.
