Alexandria Adamson has told the Bournemouth Echo how she tried to take her own life after this happened to her while busking in Bath:

This was an absolutely awful incident and like all disability hate crimes, should be covered and reported far and wide. The viral footage may be embarrassing for Alexandria, but I, for one, hope it leads to this horrible man being found, named, shamed, and punished. There is no excuse.

Same Difference 
I’m very sad to read this – and ashamed it happened in my hometown/city. I love buskers, be they good bad or indifferent. It takes guts to put yourself out there – don’t like? Well you’re free to walk on or there’s nothing stopping you from trying to do better. Busking is honest and raw and totally democratic….or at least that’s how I view it. So yeh….Yay! For buskers: Boo! For bullies in silly hats.
