The moment a Queen's Guard soldier lost it and drew his gun at annoying tourist

Another day, another member of the Queen's Guard getting angry at an annoying tourist.With their distinctive red coats and black hats, the troops are often the ultimate attraction for tourists to the UK, their debonair attire not really making them appear that frightening.Yet the Queen's Guard have begun to fight back at tourists not taking them seriously: just a few weeks after footage emerged of a photographer being barged into by troops as he stood in their way, a lone Guardsman has now scared off a pestering tourist in a video that will hopefully go a long way in ensuring Her Majesty's body guards get a bit more respect.

The shit those guys have to put up with daily, I am not surprised once in a while, one will lose his cool.

well it must be frustrating someone constantly following you and then touching you , they need to do their job and it must be annoying .

As for the other incident where the guards just pushed the tourist out of the way then i think that was wrong .

Not sure what I think about this tbh
I think he should be reprimanded - I don't think the Queen's guardsmen should show signs of "anger" or "aggression"

However, I can see the frustration of his job - but lots of jobs are frustrating and we can't all go around throwing things at people!

I'm sure he must have training on what is the correct protocol if touched or threatened and I assume he behaved within the confines of those protocols, if he didn't he will be reprimanded..

They do nothing for anyone they just live in luxury while most of the population are living in poverty it is just wrong . And then all the idiots who camp outside hospitals when one them is having a baby they can't have very much going on in their lives if they have to worship a royal family .

No I'm not disrespecting you , why should i worship a woman who i believe is greedy uncaring and doesn't have a heart.

You would fight for your country even without a royal family .

I haven't called you , but you are showing us that you are abusive and insulting , if that's what you mean by intelligence then i don't think much to the school you went to

I have fought for my COUNTRY, when involved in a murderous fire fight you only think of your mates, but you can't get away with the fact that you would have to protect the Queen if needing to, after all, you do promise to.

why does she need protecting why is she any different than us and why should young men risk their lives for her when she doesn't even care .

see again you PROVE you are too stupid to be allowed loose in public without a carer....

the reality and absolute truth of it is that the queen herself, as a person is no more of value to the rest of us than anyone else

what IS vitaly important is THE OFFICE of the queen...i.e what she represents as part of england...the position she holds as head of state

just liike the OFFIcE of president Obama IS america

so the Queen IS England.....

nope mentor you must have had a personality transplant because last week you were polite and were able to debate with us , then suddenly you came out with a lot of abusive replies for no reason , there is no need for it .

there is every need when your alter ego is so vile about things that have no effect, bearing or consequence for him....

any way i think the queens guard acted admirably..

Your husband is very often like that with me.
I obviously rattle his cage.

or your two faces bore me shitless and i think the latter is most likely..

If you say so HF
I think you might be a little hot and bothered today. It's making you a little grumpy wumpy

the guard did his duty how ever misguided his motives may be ...

Yes, yes…and you guard the tower and sell tickets when called upon.  I enjoy the royal family as an historical relic…perhaps like the confederate flag.  But as a functioning part of the UK government?  No, I think not.  That takes action, not fiction.

And HF has a point when he mentions how expensive they are.
