The Prime Minister's words on Thursday condemning the riots and putting robust measures in place to deal with the aftermath in London then other parts of England does not go far enough to prevent such an uprising occurring again.
( Is that the Justice Minister asleep as the PM speaks?)
You may need to enforce parental responsibility and be aware that all too often the rights designed to protect children especially within the legal grey area between the ages 11 to 16 will undermine PR giving children to act in a manner they a rarely mature enough to understand the long term ramifications on their own lives. This also gives cause for concern in the classroom where a teacher has to tread carefully with any form of reprimand whilst the kids are free to abuse the adult with impunity. Is it therefore any wonder many have little or no regard for the law or the police who have to enforce it? If parents where made to be responsible for their children's actions in the form of fines or even imprisonment until they were 18 or leaving home, wouldn't this make them think twice of firstly having children when they are often still children themselves, and secondary make them more considerate in ensuring their children do learn right from wrong and the true meaning of respect from an early age, and not the street cred version!
David Cameron made some ill timed remarks on Father's Day seeking to ostrasise Dads further then they have been already,being discibed as absent, feckless of runaway when more often then not it is the very system that alienates many fathers from their children.

Nick Clegg said on the Nick Ferrari LBC Breakfast show he saw no coralation between the riots of this past week and the Governments policy of reducing police numbers. It would appear the deputy Prime Minister needs an education in common sense as anyone can see if you cut back front line officers you pave the way to lawlessness and he went on to suggest if you wish to protest you are welcome to attend Parliament Square in a law abiding manner.
Well I did ( and called Nick Ferrari and Vanessa Feltz to tell them) that I had parked my van in the late Brian Haw's spot in part as tribute to him , and sat there eating my Mcdonalds breakfast, but before long I had my details taken and was moved on I even coped for a congestion charge penelty for not leaving London early enough! (£120 fine, I have 36p in my account!)
It is time this Government and others wake up and smell the coffee as if the current Family Justice Review being carried out by David Norgrove at the Ministry of Justice proves to be the fudge many campaigners believe it will prove to be, then the malise generated by the Ministry of Justice will encourage mob Rule and Jeremy Kyle fodder will reign supreme!
