Another bus dragnet style check on the 436 route today – about 25 police, ticket inspectors and officious looking I presume immigration inspectorate types stopping buses and examining all passengers, paying particular attention to profile groups.
This sort of sting is another perverse pantomime terror, targeting commuters on racial grounds under cover of ticket-checks and ‘protecting’ the citizenry from the threat of terror – the suburban terror threat on the 436 from Lewisham to Paddington. Pah.
Of course they spend half their day standing around chewing the fat (see pic) but this sort of swoop happens too often without comment. And we have to do more than heckle.

For a different angle on this particular bus route, check out the Joe Guy/Williams review set out with elegance in a welcome return of Ko Banerjea on Dark Matter.
glad someone else finds this disgusting, I have a go at them when they get on…a police state in outline…and how could you do it different? Bring back conductors…simple…
