Whether they travel today or not, fare dodgers are going to get caught eventually. Reminding them that patrols are out and about might just make them think whether saving £2 on a bus fare is worth a £50 fine every time they get caught.
Every single person on the bus I was on, seeing this kid getting hauled off (and the 3 buses in front/behind us witnessing it too) is now aware of the dangers of travelling without a valid form of ticket should they get tempted to not bother to change their weekly travelcard at some point in the future.
Of course, it only works on buses because the automatic barriers at tube stations intercept out of date tickets - but it all helps.

If it stops drug users and dealers coming into my bit of London, then that must be a good thing surely?

You seem to be of the opinion that your posting on here of their location is effective as a deterrent. Yet they themselves seem to reckon it is most effective if they don't reveal their location. Do you know something they don't? If so I think you should contact them and advise them to change their policy.
All the fare dodgers got off the bus after reading U75?

I be they're all thinking that is was a good job they were able to get home and check the forums before setting off to get home.

They are filming a Pepsi ad in Tesco tonight - all I could see was a catering van and loads of trucks in the car park and a prop local notice board with lost dog notices on it. Someone was also in the process of making the checkouts look like a supermarket called S-Mart.

they were there yesterday and a girl on my bus screamed "oh my days, look at all them inspectors, please don't let them get on" and proceeded to tell her friend at the top of her voice that she had no pass

Evidently so. Hopefully this will be the last time he tries to obstruct law enforcers in doing their job effectively. I think he's learnt his lesson.

I met a friend for lunch at Franco Manca and ended up sat next to editor and eme - they were just finishing up and left their money on the table when they left, so we took it and told the waiter that they'd done a runner. editor better not show his face there again - his name is mud now.
WIN!!!!

Oh dear. Where?
Meath house I assume. Come to think of it that place is probably a bit of a firetrap - as far as I'm aware it's only got one staircase...
My lovely ageing neighbour used to live there.

Spotted a bunch of loonspuds on the corner by the Ritzy flapping some anti-Israel banners about as I passed. Noticed "Green Party" banners and someone with a handful of Socialist Worker papers.
I thought they'd have all moved on to anti-Heathrow expansion by now *shrug*
