He had no Stab Vest on.

He is taking a chance.

This makes the Labour Mayor look bad.

Well his government removed ticket inspection being done by cuts.

Hasn't fare dodging been a thing for decades however.
I'm sure he had security with him but really, he was taking risks there.

How many did he actually find in total out of all those travelling on it though who actually were fare dodging?

[Oliver_W]

I'm all for law-breakers being called out, but the only victim here is TFL. Who cares?

The General Public does care.

These fare dodgers are costing all of us.

In the station he filmed in,
There were 8 Ticket Enforcement Officers,
He managed to take one fare dodger to some of them.


That clip was on Ch5HDAM Live
when Jenrick MP went into the studio
to take questions.

Stratford Station, so busy, he was lucky to come out alive

I think the taxpayer has had to bail out TFL just recently?

[bots]

there will always be fare dodgers. You spend more and more money to catch less and less people. It's simple economics not to go after the bottom of the barrel

Yes, he was not alone


The Camera fella gave him a bit of protection

Tfl use it as an excuse to ramp up the prices.

[Livia]

The staff are obviously lazy and need sacking. He was very brave, I think.

Meanwhile his own constituency has a higher crime rate than London does

Surely Labour should be sorting that out, with increased and better policing. If only they wernt so spasticated.

[Crimson Dynamo]

All you need to know about why Britain is where it is:

A member of parliament filmed dozens of people breaking the law and dodging
fares on the Tube and the response from loads of people in the media and
politics is to...attack him.

These people have lost the plot.

People are always gonna fare dodge on trains regardless of whether the stations have barriers or not too. It sounds bad but it’s kinda easy to do. For example a good amount of DLR stations don’t even have barriers. I used to travel to East London all the time for work and I can’t count the amount of times I see people just walking on the DLR trains and not paying.
