I recall seeing some bloke around Piccadilly Circus a few years back,
say in 2004, going on about socialism or communism. At one point, he was
on a bus ranting away. When somebody challenged him, left-wing nutter
started to target the day, saying something along the lines of: "Look at
him, he wants freedom of speech!"

Other passengers had decided that they had had enough of him at that
point and started to scream at him to shut the f* up.

At one other point, when there was a crowd gathering around one of the
escalators deep within Piccadilly Circus, the above-mentioned nutter
started making announcements to passengers about train service.

A nearby station attendant practically jumped on him and told him that
he could actually cause a stampede, the way he was doing it.

This is news? It's well known that Ken uses public transport.
