I'm not saying fare-dodging is anything to do with racial oversensitivity, I think it's to do with the fact that when you have two doors to a bus it would cost more to prevent fare evasion than you would get from the fares. I'm just saying that I think it would be worth it morally, even if it didn't turn out to be worth it financially.

As to the dealers - where's the neighbourhood policing team? Come on - the Met employs over 30,000 coppers, you're telling me they can't spare half a dozen a couple of times a week to do a swoop. Mind you, last time I was in Brixton there was a big sign appealing for information about a shooting. Of a police officer. So maybe they're just sensible in staying away.
