How stupid http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6213559.stm I'm all for banging up the asbo generation, however "The attack came after pre-emptive arrests were made by British Transport Police in an attempt to prevent major vandalism attacks." Either they were arrested because they might commit a crime, which is awful, or they were arrested because they had committed a crime -- in which case why wait until christmas? |

I took that report to mean that the police had discovered plans for a major graffiti attack over Christmas (i.e. a criminal conspiracy), but didn't manage to detain all the conspirators. The lack of effective surveillance perhaps suggests that they thought they had in fact got the whole gang. I wish the BBC hadn't published the photo, which is giving these vandals the publicity they were seeking. -- Richard J. (to e-mail me, swap uk and yon in address) |
