Rioters identified on CCTV face eviction say councils
Rioters in Manchester and Salford have been told that they face being evicted from their council homes if they are identified on CCTV footage.
Both city councils have issued warnings that if any of their tenants or their children have been involved in violence or looting they will be "thrown out".

I will believe that when I see it. No doubt these families mainly consisting of single parents who don't have or want a job, who are claiming benefit for several feral kids all by different absent fathers will be given accommodation in another council property, all at extra expense to cover the move and eviction.
It will be yet another merry go round.
The best move the government could make re families is to limit child benefit to a max of 2 children, this would stop those who breed like rabbits for the single reason that the state will support these families.
There are many families, and the facts show a high majority are immigrants who have double digit families. Why should the state support them.
fact have also shown that the bigger the family the more likely they are pro rata to grow up dysfunctional in every area.
Of course as we all know, civil/human rights will step in to protect these people.

One Irish guy that my mate knows was involved in the looting last night - he has over 200 Argos catalogues if you want one.
Ten Irishmen attempting to loot Argos in Dublin last night were later arrested at Collection Point B.

Yet another Wally of a high ranking Police Officer.
Just heard him say that many rioters who have appeared at court were seen leaving the court with their faces covered, because "They left ashamed of what they had done".
What world do these people live in. They covered their faces because they were embarrassed that they were caught and for no other reason.
They don't even understand what the word shame) means!

Too right.
Although often you only feel guilty if you know shame, they usually go together.
So without guilt you often don't get shame.

I don't know about being unemployed etc to qualify as a looter, but at an all night sitting of Distruct Judges at Highbury Mgisrates court a lot of people pleaded guilty to burglary among them was a teaching assistant at a primary school, a hairdresser and a scaffolder.
All of them had jobs. They have all been referred on to a Crown Court for sentencing as magistrates courts can only give 6 months, but Crown Courts can give 10 years. The rioting aspect to the burglaries is expected to produce longer sentences.

UK riots: grammar school girl is accused of theft
Laura Johnson appears as far removed as is possible from the lawless "underclass" said to have been blighting Britain's streets.
The 19yearold is a highflying pupil who attended St Olave's Grammar School the fourth best performing state school in the country.
She is now reading English and Italian at the University of Exeter.
However, Miss Johnson now stands accused, along with two others, in connection with the alleged theft of 5,000 of goods from the Stonelake Retail Park in Charlton, south London.
The goods were allegedly found in a car being driven by Miss Johnson.

Also look at the intelligence of this teaching assistant.
He left court with a newspaper covering his face, headline read 'Copycat cretins'. In order to move away from reporters, he turned quickly, walking straight into a lamp-post.
Would loved to have witnessed it.
