Watford pensioner launches tirade of abuse at striking rail workers

A pensioner unleashed a tirade of abuse at striking rail workers branding them "criminals" and "blackmailers".

The man carrying a shopping bag was seen berating the picket line on Tuesday morning as tempers flared as the worst rail strikes in 30 years brought Britain to a standstill this week.

Video taken at Watford Junction in Hertfordshire showed the pedestrian shouting at the RMT members and pointing his finger at them while claiming they are "breaking the law".
