Having Gone To Bed English, I Woke Up Sounding Like A Welsh Person

Whether we like our accent or not, most of us are stuck with it for life. That’s unless you’re one of the 100 or so people in the world who’ve been diagnosed with Foreign Accent Syndrome (FAS).

These people can wake up one week with an American accent and switch to sounding Scottish the next.

Zoe Coles, who lives in Lincolnshire, is one of the people who suffers from the rare syndrome.

She made headlines earlier this year for appealing for medical help after waking up with a Welsh accent and she took to TikTok where she goes by @zoecoles1 to give viewers an update.

The Englishwoman revealed she’s been stuck with the Welsh accent for nearly five months and has shared her everyday struggles.

Her most recent video has already been seen by over 18,000 people in a week.

From being forced to have uncomfortable conversations to people not believing her syndrome is real, Zoe explained how it’s impacting her everyday life.

The pub worker originally developed a German accent before it morphed into Welsh, despite her having never been to Wales.

Last year she was diagnosed with a functional neurological disorder (FND) that affects motor control and speech.

She told viewers that she was in a clothes shop and a lady said to her that she loved her accent and asked where she was from and she said that she was from there and that she’d woken up with the accent and the lady didn’t believe her.

She said that the lady literally didn’t believe her and made her feel totally embarrassed and she just wanted the ground to open up and swallow her.

She said that she gets it a lot. People stop her and a lot of people that she’s serving ask her where she’s from and she said she does try to explain that she just wakes up like that and that she has foreign accent syndrome.

Stunned viewers sympathised with her, but one inquisitive person asked what happens when she tries to speak her original accent. Zoe said that it brings on tics and she’s unable to speak correctly.

Other people who suffer from the disorder include an American woman who woke up with a posh English accent after suffering a head injury and an Essex woman woke up one day speaking four different European accents.

Some people might make fun of this condition, but I can assure you that Foreign accent syndrome (FAS) is very real. It’s a condition where the way you talk changes and shifts in a way that’s sudden and extremely apparent.

There have been about 100 known cases of the syndrome since it was first reported. The most notable case was a Norwegian woman who was struck by shrapnel in World War II. She developed a German accent and was ostracised as a result.

Can foreign accent syndrome go away? It might revert back to your native accent in some cases, but it could also be a permanent change for others.

To date, about 200 cases of foreign accent syndrome have been documented in clinical studies, making it quite a rare speech disorder. Perhaps the best-known case was when the late George Michael briefly spoke with a West Country accent when he came out of a coma following a bout of pneumonia.

Flight WZ4728: Terror On Board

An aeroplane was targeted at an airport in Dagestan by an anti-Semitic mob who demanded to see passengers’ passports.

Israeli passengers onboard flight WZ4728 from Tel Aviv were caught in chaos at Makhachkala airport in the Russian Republic after people stormed the airstrip.

According to videos posted online, the protesters, some bearing Palestinian flags, broke through doors in the airport, with some running onto the runway while others broke barriers, seeking to check the cars exiting the airport for Israeli passengers.

According to Israeli television network Channel 12, passengers were told to remain in their seats before riot police were summoned in to help them off the aircraft.

One eyewitness said that there were hundreds of people at the airport.

Approximately 50 men approached the aircraft and asked passengers if they were Jews. One witness said no. He was Russian. However, they wanted to see his passport. He had a Russian passport.

According to Russian news agencies, numerous people in the gathering that stormed the Makhachkala airport were reportedly chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’ while others were yelling anti-Semitic slogans.

Video on social media showed some in the crowd waving Palestinian flags, with one protester seen carrying a sign reading ‘Child killers have no place in Dagestan’.

According to the AFP, footage also showed protesters trying to overturn a police car and others checking the passports of passengers who’d arrived in Makhachkala.

The majority of Dagestan citizens are Muslim and the area is reportedly considered an important centre of Islam in the Caucasus and former Soviet Union.

Dagestan’s Ministry of Health said more than 20 people were injured, with two in critical condition. It said the injured included police officers and civilians.

Dagestan’s health ministry said on Telegram that as a result of the incident at Makhachkala airport, there were injured people, who were receiving medical help.

Russia’s aviation authority Rosaviatsia reportedly closed the airport and said that all unauthorised citizens had been removed as of 10:20 pm local time (7:20 pm GMT).

According to PA, there were no immediate reports of injuries or arrests.

Rosaviatsia added that the airport would tentatively remain closed to incoming aircraft until November 6.

In a statement released on Sunday night, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said Israel expects the Russian law enforcement authorities to protect the safety of all Israeli citizens and Jews wherever they may be and to act resolutely against the rioters and against the wild incitement directed against Jews and Israelis.

The psyche and brutality of these fanatics are beyond belief and there are so many ignorant and uneducated people that are taking part in these events. They need to start familiarising themselves with real history, not just what they’re told.

Israel and Palestinians are as bad as each other because what they don’t seem to be able to get their heads around is that violence will NEVER end violence.

It’s angels and demons in the minds of simpletons and there are so many wrongs on both sides of the corridor, and it’s genuinely terrifying that this attitude still exists, and it’s going to get a lot worse.

The problem is that some people remain locked in a defunct age of feudalism and barbarity and just don’t seem to be able to evolve into anything better.

This isn’t about religion, it’s about land and manipulation for greed and need, and this is simply tribalism that’s infused into human nature.

Governments said that this would never happen again after World War II but it’s happening because the small things didn’t get stomped out, so now the big things are happening.

Holocaust Survivor Receives 1,000 Anti-Semitic Messages A Day After Hamas Attack

An Auschwitz survivor is worried and frightened after receiving a storm of anti-Semitic abuse online in the wake of the October 7 terror attack in Israel.

Holocaust survivor Lily Ebert, 99, receives about 1,000 anti-Semitic messages every day since Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1,400 people in Israel and kidnapped 200.

She has also been told to ‘get bombed’ and been sent devil and middle finger emojis on her widely followed social media accounts. London-based Lily and her great-grandson Dov Forman, 19, run a TikTok account with 2.1 million followers, which educates people about the Holocaust.

Dov has been forced to disable the comment sections because the abuse has become too unbearable for his great-grandmother.

Speaking to the MoS, he said that he was trying to protect her from seeing the full extent of the comments. He said she’s horrified that Jews, including himself, feel that they have to hide their identities like she had to in the 1930s and 1940s.

Aged 20, Lily was deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau from Hungary. Her mother, brother and one of her sisters were executed on arrival in the Nazis’ gas chambers. Lily and her two other sisters survived after spending four months in Auschwitz.

Responding to the anti-Semitic abuse she’d received online, Lily said that it was incredibly worrying and frightening to see, yet again, individuals calling for violence against innocent Jewish people.

It’s absolutely shameful, and it just demonstrates how society has changed.

Look around you, whatever city or town you’re in, you can see the enormous changes in a few short years with ineffective policies, allowing the dripping tap to become a full-on unsustainable waterfall.

Trolls are monsters in every sense of the word, but they’re not just trolls, some of them would cause bodily harm if they could.

What are our Government and police doing about this? Clearly nothing!

Social media platforms need to be shut down so that evil trolls can’t continue their disgusting spewing of malice.

These trolls, if they can’t silence or cancel you, will make your life unbearable until you feel like you have no choice but to cancel yourself.

These trolls are true cowards who could never have survived the traumas and distresses that this very courageous lady had to and they’re pathetic!

No person who had to endure such a horrible experience should have to go through this agonising process again, but unfortunately, the hatred that some people have in their hearts is shocking.

It’s apparent that in each war that we have, we have learnt nothing, and it’s clear that evil is still happening and getting worse every day. Like cowards, they pick on the most vulnerable, but the fearless should make sure they never win.

Human beings are capable of horrific barbarity, especially when they can hide, using the safety of their keyboards.

This is absolutely appalling behaviour, yet it’s our Government that allows this stuff to happen.

This demonstrates more than anything the evils of social media, and since its invention, it has done absolutely nothing to enhance society and everything to destroy it.

The LATEST On Matthew Perry’s Death

Matthew Perry brought a sense of humour on screen and off screen, and now probably onto his next life in the afterlife.

He was a lovely person on the sitcom ‘Friends’, and I’m sure Matthew Perry won’t be resting in his next life.

Sadly, Matthew Perry tragically died at his Los Angeles home at the age of 54.

At the height of his ‘Friends’ stardom in the 1990s, Matthew Perry romanced Julia Roberts, Neve Campbell and Baywatch celebrity Yasmine Bleeth in the space of just two years, yet he appeared to have died alone.

Matthew Perry had a long-standing affair with drugs and addiction and had dozens of life-saving surgeries, numerous trips to rehab clinics and spent $9 million trying to get clean as he struggled with drugs and alcohol.

Matthew Perry sadly died, aged 54 after allegedly drowning in his jacuzzi at home, however, no drugs were found at the scene and there was no sign of foul play.

According to law enforcement sources, first responders were summoned to reports of a ‘cardiac arrest’ at his Los Angeles home.

In 2019, he barely escaped death after his colon burst due to opioid overuse.

Just two years later he suffered another brush with death at a rehab facility in Switzerland where doctors administered a sedative which interacted with the opioids in his ravaged body causing his heart to stop beating.

However, Matthew Perry was the wise-cracking Chandler Bing in ‘Friends’, and Perry gave ‘Friends’ some of its finest moments over the years.

People are heartbroken that Matthew Perry has passed away, saying that he will be forever loved, always missed and never forgotten.

Of course, there are other important events going on in the world at the moment, but this unfortunate news of Matthew Perry is also a tragic loss that will touch a lot of people. We didn’t know him personally but he always came across as a gentle and caring soul, and this was an extremely sad end to a clearly troubled life.

England And Wales Must Sell New Houses As Freehold

All new houses in England and Wales will have to be sold as freehold properties under ministers’ revived plans to phase out the ‘feudal leasehold system’.

Next month’s King’s Speech, when the Government will set out its fresh legislative agenda, will include proposals to ‘restore true home ownership’ to buyers.

Promised new laws will ensure that all new houses constructed must be marketed as freehold, although new flats can be leasehold.

Ministers also intend to cap all ground rents on existing leasehold properties to a ‘peppercorn’ rate, as well as modify the standard contract lease extension from 90 years to 990 years.

They also want to remove the requirement for someone to have lived in a property for two years before they can negotiate an extension.

However, Labour slammed the plans as ‘thin gruel’ and emphasised how the Tories pledged four years ago to axe leaseholds for new houses.

In January this year, Michael Gove committed to abolishing the ‘outdated, feudal’ leasehold system by the next general election.

His plans were subsequently dropped amid reports of a conflict between his department and Downing Street.

However, according to a newspaper outlet, Michael Gove has now reached a compromise with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak over a fresh package of reforms.

Housing minister Rachel Maclean confirmed there would be a new bill in the King’s Speech on 7 November.

She posted on X, formerly known as Twitter that plans to phase out leasehold and restore true home ownership confirmed as part of the King’s Speech.

She said that they would restore true home ownership to millions of people and end the reign of rip-off freeholder + incompetent profiteering management companies.

The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities has estimated there are about five million leasehold homes in England, of which 70 per cent are flats and 30 per cent are houses.

The majority of flats in the private sector are leasehold. An estimated 94 per cent of owner-occupied flats and 71 per cent of privately rented flats, while around 8 per cent of houses in England are leasehold.

The proportion of newly built houses sold as leasehold rose from 7 per cent in 1995 to a peak of 15 per cent in 2016.

The proportion has subsequently fallen and was less than 1 per cent in December last year.

Leaseholders own the right to occupy their home but the building or land is owned by the freeholder or landlord.

The Tories announced four years ago that they would axe leasehold for all new houses, which means that leaseholders have been failed by the Government.

Not only that, social care is a travesty. Now every family has to sell their home so that they can pay for sheltered housing or a care home. I mean, what do we really work for? We don’t get anything for it when we need it the most. No wonder the younger generation doesn’t want to work, they know what’s coming when they retire – absolutely nothing!

All the Tories really want is to keep the poor in the gutter while the wealthy feast off them.

This Government, or any Government thereafter need to do more for the people and these management companies have been making a killing for far too long. However, watch this space, it won’t happen immediately, but slowly but surely our freedom to buy our own home will not exist at all! They want to take everything.

Wiped Off The Map

Shocking satellite images have revealed the destructive aftermath of weeks of Israeli airstrikes on neighbourhoods in the Gaza Strip.

The photographs, provided by Reuters, reveal the true scales of the destruction the Israeli Defence Force’s (IDF) airstrikes have caused in Beit Hanoun and Atatra in the Northern Gaza Strip.

Prior to the bombing, large apartment buildings, homes, roads and the green of suburban trees and plots of land could be seen dotting the countryside.

However, a considerably different scene is the reality in these neighbourhoods now, as the ruthless bombing has laid destruction to much of what stood before.

Many of the photos reveal a dusty wasteland with crumbling structures and debris scattered all around.

The IDF suspects Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists were hiding in many of these neighbourhoods.

The Israeli Airforce has been striking targets, many of which include weapons depots and Hamas tunnels, since the beginning of the war on October 7.

Meanwhile, the United Nations said that nowhere was safe in Gaza amid Israel’s bombing.

Lynn Hastings, the UN humanitarian coordinator for the occupied Palestinian territory, said in a statement that nowhere was safe in Gaza.

She said that when the evacuation routes are bombed when people north as well as south are caught up in hostilities, when the essentials for survival are lacking, and when there are no assurances for return, people are left with nothing but impossible choices.

Reportedly more than 7,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the beginning of the war.

So far, the total of 7,028 deaths includes 2,913 children, the Hamas-run health ministry said.

Yesterday the ministry reported 6,546 deaths, including 2,704 children.

Joe Biden said he had ‘no confidence in the number that the Palestinians are using’, although he didn’t explain why.

The Council on American Islamic Relations said it was ‘deeply disturbed’ by his comments and called on the President to apologise.

Executive director Nihad Awad said that journalists had confirmed the high number of casualties and countless videos coming out of Gaza every day showing mangled bodies of Palestinian women and children.

It’s so sad that a so-called modern society would sink this low and have such a heinous disregard for human life. Sadly there are no rules in war, and it’s shocking that such a religious nation can do this to innocent people, including children and babies.

I don’t condone war of any kind. We all need to live together in peace, not bits and pieces. Do what you need to bring peace to Palestine, Israel, whatever you want to call it. It’s land, you can’t take it with you when you die. It’s there for you to nurture so that future generations can live on it in harmony, not devastation.

The Palestinians and Israelis need their heads banging together. You have lived on it for millions of years and some of that was peaceful, so why can’t you just stop all this fighting?

So, what was Israel called before 1947? Palestine of course, but a majority of biblical archaeologists deciphered a bunch of hieroglyphs as ‘Israel’, the first instance of the the name in the record. Under the British Mandate (1920-1948), the whole region was known as ‘Palestine’.

Why on earth would one human being want to kill another human being, well for one, greed, and of course land. Hasn’t there been enough war, enough killing? Perhaps like animals, once they got blood on their hands they started to relish the kill!

Mother Given All-Clear By Paramedics Before She Died

Paramedics who gave a young mother the all-clear hours before she died had a ‘significant gap in their training’, lawyers representing her family have claimed.

Lauren Page Smith, 29, was discovered with her two-year-old daughter clinging to her chest trying to wake her up at her Wolverhampton home in January.

Michael Portman-Hann, an associate at the law firm representing the Smith family, told a newspaper outlet that this was ‘a truly tragic case’ and called for ‘swift’ and ‘thorough’ improvements to prevent it happening again.

The lawyer at FBC Mandy Bowdler said, the conclusions of the investigation demonstrated that Lauren’s symptoms were not appreciated and the paramedics were falsely reassured, but also that there was a significant gap in their training and skill set.

The lawyer said that Lauren’s family and I had a number of concerns about the care which Lauren received, but also about the wider implications for future patients of the Ambulance Service.

They said that the Service recognises that improvements need to be made, and it’s really important for them that these are implemented thoroughly, competently and swiftly to ensure that no more avoidable deaths occur under their care.

Lauren’s family claimed that she had complained of chest pains and vomiting. Her mother Emma Carrington believes paramedics didn’t take the concerning condition of her daughter seriously.

She said that they believed that because of her age and the fact that she was calm the paramedics didn’t think she could be as ill as she was and that she didn’t get the care that she needed.

She said there were simply no words to describe how they felt as a family and that through no fault of her own, her daughter doesn’t have a future and her granddaughter will grow up never knowing her mother.

Ms Carrington, who discovered her daughter dead at home, added that Lauren had her whole life in front of her and that had now been taken away.

A post-mortem found that Smith died from a sudden heart attack after a blood clot in her lung. An inquest will take place at the Black Country Coroners’ Court on November 1.

Lauren had contacted 111 for advice and paramedics arrived at her home and performed brief assessments.

The Smith’s lawyers said they were concerned West Midlands Ambulance Service paramedics misinterpreted Lauren’s electrocardiogram (ECG) readings due to a lack of training and told her she was fine instead of taking her to hospital.

The problem lies with senior managers who cut corners and until they’re held to account nothing will change.

I just can’t imagine what this poor family must be going through – it’s such a tragedy that should have never occurred, and it does concern me that trainee paramedics now spend a substantial amount of time doing theoretical training and that may not be balanced out by practical learning from skilled paramedics in the field.

My heart goes out to the family, but I also know how dismissive the ambulance service can be towards people they’re called out to, and I have also personally felt their dismissive judgements. 

I suffer from Crohn’s Disease and I know that when I’m really bad and have to call for an ambulance I know that I need to take my hospital bag with me, which is always packed and ready, but this particular day I called the ambulance service, and I must confess they came extremely quickly but were extremely dismissive of me and asked me why I had a hospital bag, so I attempted to explain before the other one asked if I was going on holiday and laughed.

There is very little understanding when it comes to the people they’re called out to see, especially with their outdated guidelines on training or just lack of understanding of how people deal with pain differently, and it’s like they don’t believe you unless you’re rolling around on the floor screaming.

Britain’s Bravest Mother Saves Her Baby Girl

A hero mother who pushed her baby’s pram to safety in the split second before she was mown down by a speeding car, causing life-changing injuries, vowed that she would have done exactly the same again to save her children.

Becky Sharp was saluted for her bravery and fast thinking as a judge jailed a maniac drunk driver who left her for dead and would have hit her baby too if she hadn’t acted so decisively.

While her 11-month-old daughter Lorena miraculously evaded injury, Becky was left with severe brain injuries and numerous fractures after being tossed ‘like a rag doll’ through the air.

The 31-year-old now faces years of rehabilitation as she heals from the accident in April after being run over by scaffolder Dale Clark who had been distracted from his driving by attempting to buy cocaine.

The 38-year-old was jailed for three and a half years at Bournemouth Crown Court after admitting to causing severe injury by dangerous driving, failing to stop at an accident and drunk driving.

Becky was in court to see him sentenced and had hoped he might express some guilt for ‘turning her life upside down’.

However, Dale Clark, who’d been on a vodka binge the night before the accident failed to even look at Becky as she sat in a wheelchair with her husband Dan by her side.

She said that she wanted to go to court because she was angry and she wanted to see him. She said that he didn’t make any eye contact, didn’t express any remorse and said nothing directly to her.

She said that she knew he’d written a letter to the court and that his mother came up to them at the end and said sorry. His grandmother mouthed ‘sorry’ and that was kind, but she was upset that he hadn’t said sorry to her directly.

In an exclusive interview from her hospital room, Becky said she was pleased the judge had praised her as a hero, and she said that it was nice of him to recognise that she pushed her daughter out of the way and that she would do it all over again if it was to save one of her children.

She said that she would do it multiple times if needs be and that she was just grateful that Lorena wasn’t hurt and that her other two children weren’t with her.

What was the judge thinking? Three and a half years. The man could have not only have killed her but her child as well. This is a shocking sentence.

The fact that he cleared off after the accident. He should have got ten years or more.

He probably won’t even do the three and a half years, that will be halved with probation. The justice system is old, antiquated and ridiculous.

She should have also been monetarily compensated, but I don’t suppose this man has any money to talk of. However, any assets that he did have should have been seized, sold and given to her and her family who have also suffered.

This was one courageous mother who would have to go through years of rehabilitation for her injuries. However, this low life who caused them will likely be out of jail in about 18 months’ time and free to carry on with his worthless life. There was never any justice in this sentence at all.

It just goes to show how broken our justice system actually is. It would be more fitting to call it the ‘Injustice System’.

The Unloveable’s

The RSPCA has revealed that some of Britain’s most unwanted animals have been waiting more than a year to be adopted.

Bosses at the animal charity published stats which show how specific breeds of dog and cat are statistically less likely to be adopted than others.

The most undesirable dog breed is the Saluki, the charity has announced, with one cross named Boycie accommodated in the RSPCA’s kennels for more than a year.

Another unwanted breed, perhaps more surprising, is the German Shepherd with one named Jaxon stuck in the kennels since April 2022, and it’s not just dogs that are unwanted, with cats also filling up spots.

One domestic shorthair named Elvis has been waiting for a new home for six months.

They also revealed that people are actually giving up animals more than they’re adopting. After a boom in animal adoption in 2019 and over the coronavirus pandemic, adoptions were down 30 per cent as of 2022.

On average, dogs wait 39 days to find a new forever home, while cats typically get paired up with a new owner 10 days sooner at 29 days, though the least wanted kittens can spend more than three months in the care of the RSPCA.

The charity is encouraging anyone contemplating getting a pet to consider adopting a rescue animal as part of its ‘Adoptober’ campaign, as it strives to debunk myths shrouding rescue animals that can prevent people from considering them over kittens or puppies.

Dr Samantha Gaines, head of companion animals at the RSPCA, said that the staff who care for their animals day in and day out know just how loveable each and every one of their rescue pets is and how different they are from one another, regardless of breed.

She said that they do find that some breeds take longer to find their perfect match.

She added that this was likely due to a combination of reasons, including beliefs, often false, about particular breeds, and some owners preferring certain sizes of pets, and that sadly these things could often stop people from even considering the possibility of adopting certain breeds, and that it was so sad that animals were overlooked because of how they look.

Dr Gaines added that people will even turn down the offer of adopting a black cat because of the superstition that they’re omens of bad luck.

She continued that they would urge anyone looking for a pet to do their research especially as the reputation of a particular breed or type is often undeserved.

Perhaps if the RSPCA didn’t have such absurd rules on who can adopt them, these animals might have homes to go to. I understand that there do have to be some limitations, but if they can’t seem to rehome them, then maybe they might consider lifting some of those restrictions.

The longer an animal is in a shelter in enclosures, it makes for an extremely unhappy animal. After all, who wants to be shut up in a cage for hours on end?

Generally, you have to leap through hoops to get a rescue animal, it’s a joke. Generally, an animal, such as a dog in particular would sense if that person was not right for them.

Dogs and cats are so adaptable, and having a huge garden isn’t always essential as long as that person is active and takes them out often, well, maybe not so much the cat, but certainly the dog. In fact, most pets spend their lives snoozing quite happily, especially as they age.

I Just Want To Go Home

A bus passenger who fell asleep and awoke to find himself locked inside a darkened bus smashed his way out while filming himself swearing in despair.

A video of the foul-mouthed rant by the unknown man has gone viral on social media.

In the film, posted on Snapchat and later re-uploaded to TikTok, the man begins by screaming: ‘I just want to go home. I am locked in a f* bus. Help me please.’

As he continues to swear he finally manages to break a window and climbs out. However, he’s still unable to get out of the bus depot and continues to yell and rave as he endeavours to climb over a wall.

Bus company officials on the Isle of Man have confirmed they’re investigating the incident which took place in the early hours of the morning at the Vannin Bus Depot in Douglas.

The video begins with the man begging for help saying: ‘I can’t get out. What do I do?’

He tries to open a locked door but says: ‘It doesn’t work. Get me out of this stupid bus. I’m trapped. It’s quarter past three in the morning.

‘I’ve had to smash the bus window open so I can go home. Cheers for that. It’s really made my weekend.’

After departing through the broken window the man speaks into the camera saying he was now standing on top of a Department of Infrastructure van to help climb an 18ft fence around the deserted bus depot.

The video concludes with the angry passenger saying: ‘The p**** did not wake me up.’

It subsequently emerged that the man had broken a window, but failed to use the emergency exit at the back of the bus that would have permitted him to exit without causing any damage.

A spokesman for Isle of Man police said they’re investigating the incident.

The spokesman said that they’d been made aware of a video circulating social media on the island of a male who was locked inside a bus during the early hours on Sunday, October 22nd.

The spokesman said that as a result of being locked in, the man was seen smashing a window to exit the bus and that they could confirm both the male in the video and personnel at Bus Vannin had been in communication with the police regarding the incident which would now be the subject of an investigation.

These kinds of things can happen, and I’m assuming that he used his phone to document the incident as evidence so that he wouldn’t feel so isolated, and just because the man was filming himself doesn’t mean that he wasn’t panicking.

It might all appear a tad melodramatic, but what if it was YOU who was enclosed in a darkened bus after waking up, you would panic as well. You might not be in a bus depot in Afghanistan, but nevertheless, you would be in an enclosed space, and let’s face it, who uses logic when they wake up in a darkened bus?

Although, it does make you wonder why he didn’t just call emergency services to get him out.

The point that’s missing is that he should never have been locked on the bus in the first place. Typically, when a bus pulls into a depot, it’s checked in case bags, phones or anything important is discovered, and then normally the bus is given a wash, so how did the driver miss him? But of course, he will get charged for the vandalism.
