I admire the way Cameron, effectively, said that he was not going to let human rights stand in the way of clamping down on the riots.Quite right. Let's see if he has the balls to take on the PC brigade. In my book you sacrifice any human right if you engage in a criminal act.
Happy Larry, agreed but he also said they'd be kicked out of their council houses and benefits withdrawn which was fairly reactionary and ignorant. This will force them into rental accommodation controlled by criminals and into more crime to get what they want!This was a problem of our own making allowing this to fester. A recent document release stated over 80% of the Tottenham families have no male role model, or no father add to that 70% have one member of the family with a criminal record!Whatever the solution it must be dealt with ruthlessly and an example made of those involved.
Two interesting points from Cameron's speech..1. The police told him they got their tactics wrong and approached as crowd control NOT a riot.2. They were too soft being mindful of the constant critisisms from left-wing Councils over 'stop and search' tactics.Those left-wing Councils are now complaining that businesses were not protected by police!I can only give credit to the police for admitting to an error, for Cameron for making it public.
Jones. I wouldn't vote for him but putting petty party politics aside..credit where it's due!
