Whilst axing benefits would appear to be a very attractive punishment/deterrent I very much doubt that it is a practical idea on many grounds and it would be a legal quagmire. Two examples that immediately come to mind are:Re: Top e-petition demands axing of benefits for rioters
I think an 'e-petition' should be started demamnding that only people over 50 should be allowed to be an MP, that way we may get some sense back into society and not the 'ME' society that exists today.Re: Top e-petition demands axing of benefits for rioters

I know what your saying about the Blackberry Antibrown but even at my age I'd not be able to afford one of those type of phones. However......I do own an IPhone and that's just as expensive. The only reason I have one is because it's my daughters old one. When you renew your contract every 12/18 months you get the next phone free, and that's how most of the young ones get theirs too. You also get to keep the old phone and it's either sold on or given to someone else. It's not just a case of handing over £300+ for a new one when ever you feel like it.Re: Top e-petition demands axing of benefits for rioters

I noted with dismay that the local authorties are considering evicting those convicted of rioting from their council homes . . . who the hell came up with that stupid idea ? . . . if they think the trouble was bad last week they aint seen nothing yet if this stupid idead gets the go-ahead . . . I believe I heard Cameron agreeing with the idea too . . . that just sums up what he's all about eh.
