To the thread-starting post: Is it thought that losing their anonymity by banning hoods will disperse the "yobs" (I guess I can use the term if the PM does).
I guess it's a symbol of who they are. They pride themselves on these clothes and others (which look suspiciously like Pajamas imo) and hopefully it strips away their identity...I don't think it'll work though. The wannabes and the actual ''hood rats'' seem pretty secure in their ''ghetto'' mentality and don't really like other people very much.

So then, where will the yobs go? Train stations? Playgrounds?
Answered already but hey...they'll just move on to harass someone else. We have very few police in some areas of London. Some like Kingston have loads but Wimbledon Park has 1 bobby...for a 5km area afaik
