Of course I was reasonably confident that harassment was illegal in the U.K. - that was my point.
My comment about women handling themselves related only to the "What if you saw..." question, and referenced only those instances I witnessed. I am well aware of the fact that there are many women who suffer at the hands of sick partners, ex-partners, and strangers on the street. I am ashamed to say that in the one instance I can recall of unambiguous physical partner abuse (not just harassment - a man punched a woman in the face) I was so shocked I froze for much longer than I should have. Fortunately several people closer to the incident contacted the police immediately.
I note the TfL sign says "intrusive" and "of a sexual nature". Not much better than "persistent ".
