If people are going to riot, Beat up people defending a bus driver, Then they need to take the full pressure of the law and if that means using our armed forces so be. I am not a softy lib who thinks we should only talk and slap there hands whilst wringing my own hands, I am a realist who see's what NEEDS to been done with the **** involved in this.
EDIT
There has just been a stupid woman on the news saying we should be asking the rioters why they are looting  |
No!The minute you put our troops on the streets to keep order is the day I leave this country.Only a fool would put fighting men into a civil disorder situation.Any government doing so would most certainly lose my respect and my vote.A standing army is for defence against enemies of the state not it's citizens.
Look at how the US National Guard got it so wrong in the University protests against the Vietnam war.
