So perhaps a sudden increase in presence, make an example out of a few people and hope others learn?

I dunno if I’d trust the police to manage that, but I do see the potential.

And yet top of the list of what people seem to want is increased police prescnce?

This is a societal problem. It’s akin to people fare evading or vaping on trains - if they see police they won’t do it, but that’s essentially it. If people think they can get away with something it seems they will, so unless they constantly feel watched we can’t fix this with surveillance / enforcement. And that doesn’t seem like a good solution.

People need to understand right and wrong, and seemingly many do not.

I don’t know how to fix that.

Whilat I would prefer this hadn’t happened, this is by far the best implementation I’ve seen so far. Whilst I appreciate not everybody has a credit card, it’s much, much better to use a form of checking like that which has both an expiry date and a cancellation procedure, unlike a government ID which contains multiple pieces of information which you can’t really change (like your date of birth and a photo)

Can we, as a country, stop pandering to the racist bigots for a second?

Immigrants already contribute something like £4b/year due to the existing hideously onerous rules, and on average contribute as much tax as anyone else.

Don’t forget that this is all thanks to the Tories cutting TfL’s operating grant back in 2018:
