UK local government councils, who are responsible for social housing, have announced that anyone convicted in connection with the riots will be EVICTED from their council owned homes and will have to find alternative accomodation, presumably in the more expensive privately owned apartments. When asked why they were putting socially deprived people on the streets, one london borough council leader said ‘they should have thought of that before embarking on their looting’.
Even if only one family member, eg a son, was involved, the entire family would be evicted.
Er, anyone remember the outcry against the Israeli policy of pulling down homes of terrorists, leaving their poor families homeless… ?
Given the social safety net pervasive in all of Europe, especially England, do you think such a policy will hold?
This policy has held and is holding. Several local councils have put on record that they will evict the entire family of every rioter convicted in spite of the fact that the other family members will suffer. So why is it one rule for the UK and another for Israel? If the UK can do this, what gave everyone the right to criticise Israel for doing the same when of course terrorists are far, far worse than looters? Total hypocricy!
