Yes I agree and if I thought they were clamping down on all segments of society then I would agree. However, I can't help think that the true anti-social elements will be passed over because those giving out the punishments are too afraid of them to do anything. It isn't a side swipe and making an example because those who really need to be dragged into court know that they have total immunity.

Well it's a start in the right direction as far as I'm concerned.
I too however have my usual cynical doubts that we will see a sudden upsurge in cracking down on the more serious problems of society in general, but we live in cynical hope.

I was simply pleased that SOMEONE seemed to be tackling part of the root of all evil in our scummy society of today. I appreciate that their is a long way to go and it's going to cost all of us dearly to tackle it successfully.

And as a Merseyside Tax Payer Growler you paid for that fiasco. If I were you I'd be asking them to justify the expense when it could have all been resolved for much less.

If it sends out the right message that we are no longer tolerating the basics of what is wrong with society today, then i for one consider it money well spent.
This is not simply about some selfish floozy with her Nikes on a seat, this is positive action towards the arse wipes of society in general.

I understand that it was virtually bare feet ~ she was wearing flip-flops.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

How can you have 'vitual bare feet'? confused:

They either ARE or they aren't.

Flip flops can carry as much dog shite, chewing gum or any other undesirables as a pair of steel toe capped workmans Doc Martins.

Or even trains for that matter.
"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." 

Well, someone had to say it!

Indeed.

Who remembers carriages with slide-down windows and notices that said "Please don't lean out of the window"?

Some reprobate had usually altered it to "Please don't Clean Soot Off the windows".  whistle:

Indeed but everyone on those trains had polished their shoes.
