cut off everyone's benefits until it stops. would stop instantly

surely cutting of benfits of the poor and impoverished is not going to help the situation

Cut off their hands too.

And their feet - people without hands can get pretty creative with their toes. We need to cover all angles.

The point is quite clear.

I've just seen one of your "it's not their fault" type on the TV. Sickening.

Excuse me Graham but what do you mean by my 'it's not their fault' type.
I certainly do not approve of these thugs in any way, i posted earlier in the day on one of the other threads on this subject.
But there already several threads going on the same subject, and i think we are all entitled to give our opinions, that includes White Horse.
But you can't really believe that cutting benefits will stop these riots As i said some of the rioters are children, they're not going to affected by a cut in benefits, many are no doubt working they're not going to be affected, and the people who are on benefits may go out to loot a bit more to make up for the money that they've lost
I don't understand why White Horse wants to start a dresh thread without offering a fresh idea.
Perhaps one of the Mods can move this and add it to one of the threads that are already running.

make them do something really humiliating in order to raise money to pay back the peoples who shops/homes were destroyed then once there done send them to prison

This is not even living in the real world.

Those found guilty, I think all their assets should be seized, sold and the money given to the police and businesses affected. If claiming benefits, they should be stopped. Then ordered to community service.

If a child is found guilty, then have the parents instead.

dirty filth need to be taught a lesson.

Isn't that the whole point of the riot?

Mostly the youth organisations trying to make capital out of this. 3 so far have mentioned loss of funding. I wonder how many of these youths rioting actually went to a youth place?

Chemical castration, that is all that will help the future.

This is something I would say. Along with benefits for 2 children max, if your kids are placed in custody, chemical castration is then needed to prevent further breeding. Also, we need a good redistribution policy. Send one of these weird families to a rural area, where they are forced to live. 1 weird family is enough, 2 together is plain stupid. A whole estate is completely nuts.

This is often stated.

But I wonder what happens in other countries where benefits don't even exist, and people have to look after themselves.

They don't simply go out and mug people and vandalise everything, otherwise society outside of the UK would be in constant anarchy.

Take a look at parts of poland, where poverty is real poverty. People try to help themselves. They don't simply turn on each other.
