I must take issue with "Mrs Anonymous" and her statement that the actions of the two men who lost their lives in running away from security guards at Barking railway sidings had not harmed anyone.
True, apart from the pair who died due to their actions on that day, no one was physically harmed.
But harm is not just a physical thing. What about the pain of the family that has lost a loved one? What about the child who will grow up without a father?
What about the train driver and shock and horror he must be feeling and the counselling he may have to go through before returning to work - that's if he can ever climb back into a driving cab again.
Then there's another type of "harm". There's the financial harm incurred to the owner of the property who is left with the bill to clean up this so-called art.
There's the financial loss to London Underground which would have had to take the train that was vandalised out of service to make it serviceable again.
And how is this loss going to be regained?
By increased ticket prices I should imagine, so the public in the long-term suffers as well.
So, Mrs Anonymous, think long and hard before making such statements, because in these sort of incidents someone always gets harmed. And what was it all for?
