Re: Riots
Hmmm. Take away their benefits and we'd probably see a massive jump in theft from homes, businesses and cars. Much as the idea appeals to me I think it could come back to bite us in the bum.

Re: Riots
It's nearly a hundred thousand, not a million ... 
Pity the fool who started the petition though, now the whole country knows that he doesn't know the difference between 'lose' and 'loose' ...

Whilst I agree with it, I'm uncertain of the effect of it. Of all those that get caught, and lose benefits and their homes, I pity those in their vicinity.
I'm getting tired of all the programs and reports stating how and why this happened. More so of the people who have the luxury of opinion and/to vocalize theirs over the ones that are ignored.
My own opinion is that what happened was long overdue, but it doesn't mean I agree with it. I hope that there are changes, if not, those in power to have a glimpse of what real life is for a lot of people.

Re: Riots
Taken from 4pm on the BBC website.
'The e-petition has almost hit 100,000 signatures, I think taking the rioters benefits could teach them a lesson but consider the possible backlash'.

Re: Riots
Are you clicking the right one? Because I have seen 997,541, as the figure given and it was also reported on Sky News that it was reaching a million.
