Following on from Aja The Empress’s most excellent but incredibly depressing piece about the decline of London comes this video of the public having a go at an uncivilised invader who decided that taking his clothes off on a train packed with women and children was the right thing to do.

There’s always been the occasional oddball on London’s transport network
such as the tramp trying to keep warm in winter or the occasional
victim of Britain’s woefully useless ‘care in the community’
mental health management system. There’s also been the odd
criminal or two working the underground to pick pockets or steal bags
or generally be a nuisance. But these problems were nothing compared
to what ails London and in particular its transport system these
days. Now the public transport systems that should move London
efficiently and safely are infested with criminals, too many of them
who are foreign invaders, who rob, steal, stab and terrorise
Londoners travelling on the public transport system.

But some Londoners, from a whole variety of backgrounds are seeing the
decline and are meeting that decline or rather those who are part of
the cause of it, head on. In the video below you can see how
Londoners on a Hammersmith and City Line train at Upton Park dealt
necessarily harshly with an invader who had removed his trousers in
front of a carriage load of men, women and children.

Here’s the video along with the link to one of the sources of it on X of
this incident.

Twenty years ago we would not have seen this sort of shit on a tube train in
the daytime and if it had had happened there would have been no need
for these men to tackle the invader. The reason that they would not
have had to wade in would be that they could have expected the
British Transport Police and London Transport to deal properly with
this invader at the earliest possible opportunity.

Sadly these days
we as Britons cannot trust entities like the police nor the transport
authorities to keep the travelling public safe from violence and from
deranged invaders like this one. Because that trust is gone and the
public know that trust is gone then we get ordinary members of the
public having to deal with shit like this. Twenty years ago I would
have deplored such vigilantism as I know where such stuff leads and
it is often not into any good place. Back then I would have felt
that it would have been better to wait and call a transport employee
or a police officer at the next station rather than steam in, but now
I have a totally different view. Now I have to say well done to those
who waded in but I’m sad that I have to say that. I’m sad about
this as these members of the public would not have had to do this had
not the British political elites done their basic job and kept
invaders like this out of Britain and prioritised the safety of
Britons on public transport and on our streets.
