One of the YT comments on that video: "Complete sociopath."
I think the infrastructure makes sociopaths of cyclists. There's no justification for getting out of the motor and hitting. But I can't think of any other situation when can you just stroll up to the front of a queue just because...unless you know the dj. Given how congested Farringdon Road usually is, it must be frustrating to get there second or third and have someone just plunk themselves in your path*- especially when you can see it's a clear road ahead. The 3rd & 4th guys on bikes show a complete unwillingness to queue. I'd get it if the road was packed but it wasn't. It just feels potentially confrontational.
According to someone there, the motor has been driven erratically/dangerously before getting to this point. Knowing this, surely let the corn on on the cob pass and just enjoy your ride. Certainly beats escalation, shouting and coming to blows.
Before anyone berates me about "share the road" just remember how it feels when using a shared path and peds walk 5+ abreast and forcibly slow you to a crawl or somewhere like Bow Street post theater kicking out time or Old Compton street with narrow pavements forcing folk out onto the road.
