Axing their benefits may not happen, but some councils have the power to evict people, if anybody from the household takes part in antisocial behaviour.

So some of them could well find themselves on the streets because of their little darlings.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

Actually, they won't starve. Number 1 is really "let them do what they want."

I wouldn't force them to work, since I really don't give a flying fuck whether someone wants to work or not.

False choice.

For example - you could reduce the free money given to anyone convicted of criminal involvement in the recent riots and related crimes.
And, if that is not enough for basic food, clothing, and rent? What if that just makes them more unhappy and prone to riot? Could require some tough decisions.
Arrest them and prosecute them, and jail them.

An e-petition calling for rioters to lose their benefits has hit 100,000 signatures and become the first to be considered for a Commons debate.

It has dwarfed others on the government website, which has struggled to deal with the volume of people accessing it.

The petition has now been formally referred to a committee which will decide whether to hold a debate.

It comes as English councils say they will seek to evict social tenants found guilty of taking part in disorder.

The e-petitions website has been closed to address its technical problems and is due to re-open on Friday.

I don't know that that means he supports the BNP.

I also find that calling him a "shit" ought to be considered a personal attack. Seems common, though, for people to equate political differences with "good" vs. "shit." Intellectually lazy to do that, of course, but it's common.

All money is protection money. Any who think otherwise try building a harmonious society without it? Cough up or they riot. It is money to be spent on bread and circuses to keep the plebs from rioting. This is known from the times of old. Salt or assault. If you can't afford salt disband the legions and emigrate. :tup:

Of course he loves it, as he feels he's being proven correct.

Pen, this is a clear personal attack. And not your first. There is a big difference between using such language in friendly banter and using it in heated debate with someone whose views you clearly don't share. Take this as an official warning that the next similar attack will earn you a suspension.
