A London Underground passenger has been jailed for 21 weeks after she admitted hurling racist abuse at fellow passengers.

Jacqueline Woodhouse, 42, of Romford, east London, directed an expletive-ridden rant at Tube passengers on the Central line on 23 January.

A seven-minute video of the verbal assault was uploaded to YouTube.

She received a 21-week prison sentence and a five-year Asbo at Westminster Magistrates' Court.

Woodhouse admitted racially aggravated intentional harassment, at the court, earlier in May.

The prosecution offered no evidence on a separate charge of racially aggravated common assault.
'Sense of shame'

The court heard she stumbled over a black woman named Judy Russell as she boarded the carriage and proceeded to hurl insults, shouting: "You Africans take our council flats."

The video shows Galbant Juttla, who filmed the incident on his mobile phone, telling Woodhouse to keep her mouth shut and that she had had too much to drink.

"It's not your country anyway so what's your problem?" she said.

"It's been overtaken by people like you."

In further remarks, on a packed train between St Paul's and Mile End stations, she told passengers: "I'll have you arrested because you don't live here" and "I hope you are not claiming benefits."

Galbant Juttla The man who filmed the racist rant

The video of the verbal assault was viewed on YouTube more than 200,000 times.

Woodhouse handed herself into police, telling officers she could not remember the comments but recognised herself in the video.

Following the hearing, Mr Juttla, of Ilford, east London, said: "I found it very distressing.

"I uploaded it [the footage] to YouTube because I thought that was the fast-track process to catching this person.

"I also needed to show the public that kind of person is out there and not to put up with this kind of behaviour.

"My kids have seen the video and they are disgusted by it."

Condemning Woodhouse's outburst, 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.
'Grossly offensive'

"The train was packed with people from a variety of ethnic backgrounds," he added. "The people included children."

"She became loud, foul-mouthed and aggressive. She targeted her behaviour at those who weren't white.

"She threatened violence against more than one person and it took place over a prolonged period."

He added her "grossly offensive" language reflected her hostility to her fellow passengers.

The judge told Woodhouse she would serve half her prison term behind bars and imposed an order banning her from using the Tube and the Docklands Light Railway while drunk, for a five-year period.

Good to hear that, thanks for the news Sir

[ZABASHO]

there should've been rednecks and ignorant fools such as this woman in S.Asia & other parts of the world during the british empire, but somehow we got gandhi.

[Zakii]

But I have to say the amount of diversity & tolerance you see in Londoners, it's a rarity in other parts of the world.

[Safriz]

Good decision by court..But excellent handling of the situation by the Asian guys in the video...They didn't return any abuse...
I had a similar situation once in Newcastle,two Boys were shouting racial abuse at me,i gave them a punch on the nose and ran away .

It wasn't like this in 1990s and not even in early 2000s.....Things have changes for good since then...
Many parts of Western Europe are much more Bigoted than UK...Thats why i Like to live here,its better than many other Euro countries...

The woman is just a drunken fool disgracing herself. Too bad it ended up getting her 5 months jail time.

Read the last couple of sentences Safriz bhai. Drunk or not its pretty poor behavior for anybody to show. She must be ashamed of herself. Anyway at least she will get recognized everywhere she goes!

I am amazed at the patience of those guys. I am surprised she didn't get a slap.

Can you imagine if Razpak superkaif and Windy were sitting next to her

[Peregrine]

Some body needs to punish this one too.

[RazPaK]

She didn't deserve jail time. She was so drunk, I'm pretty sure that the Pakistani guy could have taken her to bed after 10 minutes and she wouldn't have minded.

they clearly were the bigger men there, hitting a woman is beneath a man..
