when I was growing up around Euston\South Camden, I got a fair amount of stick over trespass, including getting a tap on the shoulder, a smack in the teeth before I'd even turned round properly, and a 'wrong area bruv' (I was a block from my house)*
that was 15 years ago, and around the same time I got threatened with a meat cleaver (mistaken identity, we sorted it out)...so it's nothing new, just more exposure, and maybe just that the middle class is finally sufficiently threatened to call it the end of civilisation as we know it.
