A woman whose racist abuse of fellow passengers on a packed Tube train
became an internet hit has been jailed for 21 weeks.
Jacqueline Woodhouse, 42, from Romford in Essex was filmed ranting at
passengers on a Central Line train in January.
The video, filmed by passenger Galbant Juttla, was uploaded onto YouTube and
has now been viewed 200,000 times.Mr Juttla was returning from a funeral when the incident happened.


Woodhouse is seen in the seven-minute video carrying out an expletive-laden
rant at passengers.
She repeatedly asks them: "Where are you from? Where are you from?"
One passenger is heard to say: "I'm British."
She pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to a charge of racially aggravated
assault.
Woodhouse arrived at Westminster Magistrates Court with two friends, who
shielded her from photographers with an umbrella.

'Sense of shame'
The court heard Woodhouse's rant was aimed at Galbant Juttla, the man who
filmed the tirade.
Mr Juttla, of Ilford, east London, decided to film the incident on his mobile
phone after Woodhouse berated a black female passenger, before sitting down
between two men and ranting, the court was told.She launched the tirade at passengers on a packed train
between St Paul's and Mile End stations, telling those seated near her: "I used
to live in England and now I live in the United Nations."
The video of the verbal assault was viewed on YouTube more than 200,000
times.
Following the hearing Mr Juttla said: "I found it very distressing.
"I uploaded it 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 her 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.
