Pshaw, that'll never work!

The beatings must continue until morale improves!

In the short run as a direct reaction to these particular disorders, yes a full riot response seems sensible.

The social problems that are caused by letting them get away with stuff for so long they think they are above the law? yeah we'll deal with that by giving them 30mins to clear the streets & then send the army in with live ammo.
Sorted.

Get Chuck Norris involved !

Most of the f*ckwits that are looting and rioting have no idea what they are doing apart from causing damage to the Economy and making England look like a bunch of tts to the world a year before the Olympic games, which will bring in loads of money to indirectly support these scummy b'stards!

We know what they need. They need to understand that this sort of behaviour is not acceptable and that if they break the law, they will be punished. Or is that not what you think they "need"?

OP, why is there no "send in the attack dogs" option on your poll?

No, clearly, we need a full public inquiry and more legislation.

Insuracnce companies wil pay out to businesses, so we then of course need to target the real victims, the rioters who get free housing, free education and live in a major world city and yet still are 'deprived'. We must do more to help them.

Why do I feel this WILL be the gov. repsonse??

I went with the Army/water cannons etc choice as I think that is the realistic option that would work.

What I really wanted to do was choose live ammunition.

These people think that the law does not apply to them so why should we treat them within the law? I am fed up of people thinking the world or society owes them a living. It owes them nothing.
I am getting so angry about this, need to calm down.

Society needs to help them...if there was more equality, they wouldn't need to steal and loot.

Society is unfair to these hardworking people, I think we should do more to help them.

Thats what they need...love and understanding.
