Angry Britain

Cyclists and motorists are caught on camera as tempers flare on our busy road and rail networks.

Take a closer look at how the 2010 student protests quickly descended into total anarchy.

An English man’s home has been his castle ever since Sir Edward Coke enshrined it in common law in 1628, so there is nothing more guaranteed to arouse anger than when someone trespasses on your property or disturbs the peace in your neighbourhood. This week witnesses what happens when neighbours and intruders cause house holders to see red. When a local thug attacks Jason, he swiftly realises his mistake. His furious target is a former bodyguard, trained in the martial arts. Other incidents this week include a mechanic attacked by a pensioner while putting out his bins, a group of people so enraged by fly-tippers that they decide to take the law into their own hands, and a man whose number one priority is cleaning up dog poo. Moments of fury caught on CCTV or filmed by bystanders and those caught up in the outburst are supplemented by eyewitness testimony and controversial interviews with both perpetrators and victims.

This week, Angry Britain looks at what happens during a bad day at the office, with some incredible footage of work place fury caught on camera by fellow stressed – out workers. As well as capturing those moments on the daily commute when tempers boil over, it shows work mates who drive their colleagues insane, turning the workplace into a battleground. We all know about cowboy builders – but what about cowboy customers? One clip in this week’s show recounts what happened to a bad customer in Sussex who refused to pay her builder for a new porch and extension. He does not just get angry, he gets even…all on camera! This episode also includes footage of flight crews battling with holiday makers at 30,000 feet, fire fighters under attack from rioters and cabbies being punched by passengers. Bus drivers sound off at commuters, security guards tackle revellers and there is even footage of MPs– the country’s very own law makers – abusing each other in the House of Commons.
