Are you going to be moving to London or elsewhere?

I'd also recommend this book to get a sense of how British people are (it says English, but the Scots and Welsh aren't that different, from a sociological perspective).

No problem. Just to summarise -

  • Further Police involvement isn't going to be likely because it was anti-American rather than being anti-Semitic; as we now know, the former is not criminal, whereas the latter is.

  • It's also unlikely that you could sue the bus company (or driver) for financial compensation, because they have also not broken any civil law.

    But yeah, don't let this put you off making a fuss and complaining, they fucked up, you just won't realistically be able to threaten to sue them or have them arrested or anything. Reach out to those organisations I linked above, they may disagree, or they may be able to send e-mails supporting your complaint to the bus company or something.

    On an unrelated note, no idea how long you've been in the country, but I always suggest this book to any newcomer to the country, because there's loads of weird unwritten rules and stuff, so learning about them might help you integrate more and understand what the deal with queuing, pubs, bants, etc. is. It's absolutely worth the investment.

I can recommend a book to you that might help, Watching the English by Kate Fox. She's a British anthropologist, and applies it to her own culture. It's really interesting to see why we behave the way we do and the "rules" of our behaviour.
