UK practice is IMX that that "line" isn't formed until people stand up following the bong, and walk forwards if desired. It's acceptable to cut in so long as by doing so you don't cause someone to have to stop - you just wait for a gap. There is no need for those behind to wait for those in front - it's not a hierarchy (other than business/first class which may officially deplane first).

In any case, I agree with the point that violence is not a solution. That is, as they say, how wars start.
