Rioters in Manchester and Salford have been told that they face being evicted from their council homes if they are identified on CCTV footage.Not a bad first move, but I'd take it a step further: Ideally, anyone caught taking part in these riots anywhere in Britain, as well as their parent if minors, should lose access to ALL state benefits FOR LIFE with the exception of compulsory state schooling and in addition lose all eligibility for any form of government employment. In the case of immigrants or other foreign nationals, the penalty should be immediate and permanent deportation. This is, of course, in addition to any fines or prison terms.
I dare say that this would be more effective than a hanging as far as this lot are concerned.
