Jack Penate is planning a campaign against the hoodie or, more to the point, the dodgy teens who wear them. Not the CMU Editor who wears one because it keeps you nice and warm when you're commuting across London at 6am in the morning, obviously. Penate says he got sick of hoodie wearing kids mugging him in South London when he was younger, and he wants to make a stand against it, and that he hopes to persuade fellow buzz artist Kate Nash to join the campaign.
Penate told the Star: "I was mugged a lot. I just seemed to attract violence. Kate and I are similar in spirit, we both have morals and good manners. We're part of a new generation of young Brits with opinions and something positive to say, rather than using aggression".
So, that's nice. For parents concerned that their kids might become hoodie wearing thugs, Penate reckons music could be the solution. He continued: "A lot of my friends ended up being dicks, intimidating people in hoodies. I stayed in, listened to music and had mini festivals in my garden".
