http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/7337 Over 90k so far. 100k people needed for the house of commons to consider this. Never going to happen, but is it a good idea? I think the ****ers who riot should rot in hell, but these pikeys will probably be worse with no benefits. Anyway sign the petition if you want, don't if you don't.
What a brilliant idea. No money --> steal to eat or feed habits --> get arrested and put in prison --> cost of housing, feeding and clothing prisoner is greater than unemployment benefit. Result? Extra cost of policing, extra cost of prison guards, extra cost of housing 1,000s of new prisoners, insurance costs for businesses go up, passing on extra costs to customers. Taxes go up to pay for it, services are cut and people get angry and start rioting.
How about we re-introduce the stocks? What better way to round off a trip to your local shopping centre than pelting a yob with some rancid tomatoes?

Dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees. As for no benefits for rioters, how about no rights for rioters? They basically become akin to medieval outlaws. If you beat/rape/kill one, there is no punishment. And they are forced to live in the forests.
I suppose where the riot control bee masterplan falls down is if some wasps move in , just a few in the street at first, then they begin to slowly take over....
I totally agree with this but if it's to apply to rioters then should it not apply for other crimes? It would be a vicious cycle as these scumbags aren't going to give up a life of criminality because they get no benefits. Toughen the jails up and make these people do some hard time. None if this sitting around snokin weed and playing pool. To me that doesn't sound like punishment.
