Fair or Not? Family gets evicted from council home because son was a rioter

[Ghost]

No, the government is getting it wrong and ignoring all the reasons behind why Britain is such a mess. Sure it might look good "Ooh, we are tough on rioters and those who raised people who would riot", but it's silly. The family are not to blame directly. Give the kid 2 years in prison and a prison without all the comforts that prisons have today. We need to be tough on crime once again and attacking extended family is not going about it in the right way.

Give police officers power, let teachers use a cane and stop giving council housing to teenage mothers. Things will start to change, these stop gap short term actions just piss off more of the vermin class riff raff. It solves nothing.

I disagreed that the family is not to be blamed for this. The mother did not raise her son right. She failed as a parent to instill any sense of morals or responsibility in that little hellraiser. She let him run the streets at any time of the day to cause mayhem and destruction on the livelihoods of innocent people. In short, she was a shitty parent that didn't instill any values in him.

Should she and her daughter be kicked out of the council home? No I wouldn't go that far, but she failed as a parent. Any sense of character, any sense of morality or responsibility is first instilled at home. That's where it starts first. The mother should not be absolved of any responsibility. And where the hell is the kid's father?

Miles has got it right with bring back the cane

To my mind thats when the downfall started. I was a bit young at the time but remember my school having a debate for parents wishing to attend re the cane banning. Think it was around 81.

The slipper stayed for a few years after - and fuck me that hurt - but that went too. Now I think teachers can't even touch the kids. Maybe some teachers on here can elaborate.

Without going into too much detail a friend's son has recently been sentenced to four years for being a 'very silly boy.' He is in his early 20s and she worried at first , like any mother would, but she is now quite relaxed and not worried about him inside as has been to see him and seen the facilities he has. He has access to ps3, pool table, tv, table tennis and its like a common room she says most of the time.

She syas in fact she is less worried about him now as she was when at home as isn't worrying about him being out and up to no good.

I thought prisions were supposed to be a deterrent ? Shouldn't they be the worst place imaginable ? This country is fucked up.

and agreed re council houses to teenage mums - fuck that. And immigrants and asylum seekers having 500k houses for all their kids down south. again fuck that


i could go on but you get the general idea

one of my mates was saying in pub other week he was in favour of bringing back the stocks for petty crimes rather than asbos, comm. Still some originals from way back on the village green near me.

At first thought ludicrous but more you think about it its not as daft as first seems. Put the fuckers in for an hour and lets throw smelly veg and fruit at them for an hour (ok you would have to ban tins) . Would be good way to spend sunday morning and practice your throwing arm. And I reckon if you had to endure it there's no way you would want to go back in.

There should also be different objects allowed for how many times you been in stocks. On third time potatoes and hard fruit would be allowed.Now that would be good - the guy in the stocks (or bird) would be shitting themselves as people took aim)

Again I could go on but you get the general idea.......
