Evening Standard channels its inner Daily Mail

From The Evening Standard:

A marketing executive left a football fan “paralysed in fear” when he subjected her to an hour-long torrent of abuse on the train back from a match…

A passenger alerted the police, who arrested MacTavish in London. He was convicted of a public order offence at Westminster magistrates’ court, where he was served a football banning order, barring him from matches in England and Wales for three years. He was fined £570 and ordered to do 80 hours of community service and a 10-day sexual and alcohol rehabilitation course…

At his £750,000 family home in Teddington, he told the Standard: “I apologised at the police station and I apologised in court. I have been as remorseful as I can. I just want to put this all behind me.”

I’d love to be a crime reporter on a local newpaper, I’d doorstep wrongdoers and scream “What’s your house worth?” as soon as they show their faces, “You have the right to remain silent, but it may harm your resale value if you don’t give me an answer, and I’ll just use any old figure from Zoopla!”
