Tube scum

June 02, 2008 01:00

There appear to very good pictures of most of the hooligans and yobs who took part in Saturday night's drunken riot on the Tube. They are plastered across newspapers and the internet.

The Standard has interviewed one of the ring-leaders:

Alexandre Graham, 26, who works for the Royal Bank of Scotland, set up the Saturday night 'Circle line party - last day of drinking on the Tube' which ended in violent clashes and 17 arrests.

Mr Graham, of Fulham who now fears for his job, said he did it because a female friend who worked in a senior position for former mayor Ken Livingstone lost her job following Boris Johnson’s election victory.

As Harry's Place puts it:

He shouldn’t only fear for his job. He should be prosecuted for incitement to criminal damage and made to pay for the clean-up operation.

A question to the British Transport Police: are you tracking these people down now, preparing a report to the CPS? And to the CPS: will you be recommending prosecutions, for incitement, for criminal damage itself in some cases and for other offences committed?

If the answer to either of these is no - as I suspect is the case - then it tells us all we need to know about crime in today's society. Commit it with impunity.
