some will, some won't .I'm not denying that there are *******s ,there will always be *******s .The point i and others are making is that it is a bit rich when mp's convicted of fraud or stealing from the tax payer are preaching to these people about law and order .Would you listen to David Chaytor ,Elliot Morley,Jim Devine if they started preaching on about law and order .

Impoverishing those simply associated with those involved in the rioting is even more destructive, especially if it's done to the point of destitution.

I am of course assuming the flat is solely in his mothers name, and that the official age one becomes an adult in this country is still 18..

I agree with the above .We do not know if the Mother/parents have been trying to keep their children on the straight and narrow .It may prove to be otherwise of course, the family may be the bigget load of **** bags out there ,but Cameron needs to be carefull about backing this kind of kneejerk reaction as it could bite him right up the jacksy .Things need to be thought through properly and calmly ,if new powers are going to be introduced then they have to be fair and workable not just lip service to the general public and media
