Re: Riots
AS is always the case the stupid minority give the vast majority a bad name nothing new there really. I am all for evicting anyone found guilty of looting if they are the tenant and having their benefits stopped as whilst it might not be perfect tbut hey have to be shown in as many ways as possible that we are not going to accept that sort of behaviour.
Evicting parents because little jimmy\gemma were out and about taking part in it all though is going a little far as far as i am concerned. For years now parents have had their hands tied more and more in terms of what they can do to keep their kids in line with so many external factors working against them and sorry to say in our town some of the "right on" teachers at the local secondary school has been a big part of the problem.
As a nation we took our eye off the ball in terms of kids we took away many of the sticks replacing them with carrots and rights and never countered it in any real way. We have a couple of generations of people in this country now who have grown up thinking they have a right to this and that and expecting it to be provided for them we have lost that spirit of working for what you want in many communities.
