David Cameron today outlined his new hard-nosed approach to rioters and looters “Only the first looter in the family will get benefits, subsequent looters will not bring in more Government cash to the family”
Health and Safety experts decry the measure as unhelpful in the extreme. “So a looting family who follow the rules are punished, what chance has a single looter family now. Imagine the midnight run when their only looter is struggling out of a smashed Curry’s window with a 50” plasma TV. His grip wont be right, he’ll over-stretch on a basic two-looter lift and ping, hospital with a slipped disc.”
The Fire Brigade also urge the Government to reconsider. A Chief Fire Officer explains “the Molotov, simple tool, but for maximum effect you need a mate to light it when you are just about to throw. If you are a one-bomber family, all sorts could happen, dropping the Zippo and in bending down, spilling the petrol all over your recently nicked Converse All Stars and WOOF, straight to hospital”
Mother of a looting family, who wished to remain anonymous said “its a disgrace, Ive got 3 full grown looters, and another on the way. I wont get enough to live on, especially with PayPal taking 3% of the sale price of the gear my lot bring home”
The debate, much like most of North London, will smoulder on
