Tube's Racist Ranter Jailed
A woman has been jailed for 21 weeks for racially abusing fellow passengers on a London Underground train.
A seven-minute mobile phone video of passenger Jacqueline Woodhouse, 42, of east London, was uploaded to YouTube after the verbal assault and circulated widely.
Woodhouse admitted racially aggravated intentional harassment and received a five-year ASBO on top of the prison sentence, at Westminster Magistrate's Court.
The charge was in connection with her expletive-ridden rant on the Central Line of January 23.
The court heard she stumbled over a black woman named Judy Russell and shouted at her: "You Africans take our council flats."
On the packed train between St Paul's and Mile End stations, she went on to tell passengers: "I'll have you arrested because you don't live here" and "I hope you are not claiming benefits."
The video on YouTube was viewed more than 200,000 times.
Woodhouse handed herself into police, telling officers she recognised herself in the video despite not remembering the incident.
Galbant Juttla, who filmed and uploaded the footage with the intention of catching the person, said: "My kids have seen the video and they are disgusted by it."
District Judge Michael Snow said: "Anyone viewing it would feel a deep sense of shame that our citizens could be subject to such behaviour who may, as a consequence, believe that it secretly represents the views of other white people.
Woodhouse’s ASBO bans her from using the Tube and the Docklands Light Railway while drunk for the next five years.
