FTFY

Rights Wrongs groups uneasy over Cameron's riot crackdown
"Tossing rioters out of state-subsidized homes, unmasking young men who hide their faces behind hoods, demanding that phone networks shut off access to messaging services or social networks during unrest. (Ed. Sounds good to me.)

Britain's government has pledged an iron-fisted response to the wide-scale looting and violence that scarred London and other English cities — for some reminiscent of Margaret Thatcher's uncompromising stance against civil unrest. (Ed. Who, dear dingbats, was elected PM three times, two of which were with resounding majorities.)

While there are those who cheer the tough talk from Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron, others recall center-left leader Tony Blair's response to the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States — and the legal missteps that corroded civil liberties and fueled mistrust of authority among young Muslims."
So wide spread destruction and looting have to be allowed in order to appease "young Muslims"? You go, Cameron! And may the courage of your strong stance spread to other Western capitals!

Seriously, though, I'll bet a large majority of Brits agree with their PM. It's only the MSM that wrings its hands and blubbers like a baby, while empowering Islamism. And BTW, did this riot have anything to do with perceived Muslim grievances? I don't think so, but even if it did, appeasement is not the answer.
"Cameron has pledged to hand police, local authorities and the courts sweeping powers to mete out severe punishments to those involved in the unrest. He has also warned that in the future, looters could be met by the rare sight of water cannons, dye sprays and even the country's military deployed on Britain's streets.

"The fight-back has well and truly begun," Cameron declared Thursday in an emergency session of Parliament.

Under one of the most contentious plans, the government will consider whether to make it easier for local authorities to evict people who are convicted of crimes and live in homes subsidized by taxpayers.

Currently, authorities can boot out residents who commit offenses in their own neighborhood only — and evict about 3,000 of Britain's 8 million public housing tenants each year. If the new plans are approved, it won't matter where a person has committed their crime."
Time to give this approach a try.

Time to send them all the way back to whichever third-world hellhole they (or their parents) came from.
