Taking the benefits away from rioters / looters...

How's that supposed to work ? Given most of the ones who are old enough to actually work were unemployable f**kwits from what I've seen AND would have a criminal record so even more unemployable now, what do they think they will do with absolutely no income or job prospects ?

Surely crime would then be the only option ? I nice popularist reaction from Cameron, but hardly logical. Surely the most fitting, logical punishments would be MASSIVE community service terms and not the airy-fairy s**t but actually working on the streets, cleaning stuff up, building, for weeks or months. And the more serious offenders should get a jail term AND the community service once they come out.

Thoughts ?
