Looter Walks Into Lamppost

Primary school worker Alexis Smith takes the walk of shame having just pleaded guilty to burglary during the London riots at Highbury Magistrates Court.

His case has been referred to the Crown Court so that he can receive a longer sentence. But have no fear he was set for violent street justice of his own-making just yards from the court as, paper covering his head, he walks face-first into a lamppost (@47 secs).

Have patience… this one’s a classic!

The Surrey Robocop

Regular readers will have already heard of The Peckham Terminator – the shape-shifting-fould-mouthed-bus-passenger from south east London. Well it seems another Hollywood action hero has been discovered south of the river, this time in the form of ‘The Future Of Law Enforcement’.

PC Dan Pascoe parks up his police car to form a roadblock on a slip road off the M25 near Chertsey. No sooner has he got out of his car than he and his car are hit by a stolen BMW.

Plucky Pascoe is seen to get up, dust himself off and chase after the BMW and errant driver. When the BMW crashes, Pascoe leaps after the fleeing offender dealing him some ‘off-camera’ street justice.

Surrey Police said: “PC Pascoe was able to deploy his taser on the driver before collapsing and other officers at the scene then arrested him on suspicion of vehicle theft and other driving offences.”

“The 29 year old man pleaded guilty to all charges during an initial hearing at North Surrey Magistrates Court on Tuesday, 5 July and was sentenced to 23 months in prison at Guildford Crown Court on Friday, 29 July.”

The video of the incident is set to be a viral sensation, with fans dubbing PC Pascoe – The Surrey Robocop.

Student Protests in the 1960s/70s

Today hundreds of thousands of British students will be taking to the streets in London and beyond, occupying college buildings and dodging police kettles.

Their common cause? Fury at today’s House of Commons vote which is set to see dozens of Liberal Democrat MPs openly betray their election pledge on student fees.

Student revolt is nothing new of course. This video documents campaigning Californian students in the 60s and 70s. You get a nice rock/hippy soundtrack to boot.

Aux Armes!

Viral Ad for ActionAid

We say:
Fine viral, with a nasty sting in the tail. Still – I do fancy a beer right now…

They say:
Grolsch’s owner SABMiller is avoiding its taxes around the world, by siphoning profits into tax havens.

They’re the world’s second biggest brewer, making profits of £2 billion, with headquarters just off Park Lane. The taxes they avoid in Africa could put another an extra 250,000 children in school there.

When big companies avoid their taxes, ordinary people end up paying more. That’s why ActionAid is launching a campaign to make this company schtop tax avoiding.

To help us expose these shady dealings we’ve made a spoof ad for Grolsch. Please help us spread the word and force this company to clean up its act.

Make It Stop

Okay, we know this site is called BigHappyVideo and that we usually focus on funny videos that we hope we’ll help go viral.

Once in a while though it’s nice to throw in a video that we want to go viral for more serious reasons. For example, last year during the protests against the Iranian election result, we posted dozens of videos captured by the demonstrators.

This video from the Met Police is part of a campaign to encourage members of the public to report domestic violence. So if you retweet this on Twitter or share on Facebook you’ll be helping to spread this very important message.

So here’s a BigHappy thanks to all those who help make this video go viral.

Gun Size Matters for Girls

Wonderful ‘amateur’ shoot-em-up from video game afficienado freddiew featuring the gorgeous leather-clad Shenae Grimes.

It should be wrong to think a hot, gun toting girl is sexy. But we’re all human aren’t we?

Granny Beats Up Dirty Old Racist

In the week that brought us the web sensation The Peckham Terminator, it’s worth casting our minds back to January and this other London street justice classic.

Here we see an old man getting to feel the wrath of enraged old granny as she objects to his racist slurs outside The Mayday Hospital in Croydon.

In true Margaret Thatcher style, she uses her handbag to do the talking. As she lands blow after blow the old fella keeps spewing out his racist filth, enraging her ever further.
