There’s a terrible street fad called ‘happy slappings’ supposedly sweeping across Britain. It refers to a gang assaulting an unsuspecting victim for no reason other than to capture the event on a camera phone. The scene is then posted on a web site.

Londeners refer to such street behavior as ‘yobbery’ which is really a term used to describe low-life, anti-social behavior. The word ‘yob’ if I recall, was a reversal of the spelling of ‘boy.’

The "yob crackdown," as Blair puts it, will be top priority, now, with the news today that London won the bid for the 20012 Olympics.

Sure, it’s 7 years away, but take a look at the Olympic stadium!. It will be served by an ‘Olympic Javelin high-speed shuttle.’ I bet there’ll be a lot of security cameras onboard!
