Not for LUL, TfL or the members of the travelling public.

It is sad that he only got 200 hours. At minimum wage that's
equivalent to £820. Not really very much of a pay back for £32 000
damages

Agreed. He should be banned from entering London and an area bounded
by a radius of say 30 miles around it - forever. The damage he has
done in terms of fuelling the growth of criminal damage and graffiti
is incalculable, and the psychological effects on the rest of us of
his wanton and deliberate damage means he has forfeited his right to
live in this area.

Errrrm, I sympathise with your sentiments, but why should anywhere else in
the country have to put up with him? He's your problem, you sort him out.

A persistent and cunning menace, his attacks were
often well-planned. He needs help and his upbringing does indeed
sound awful, but I just can't manage to have any sympathy for him,
sorry.

I'm inclined to agree, but it's not sympathy he needs, it's education and
getting started in the right direction. But will he get it?
