Rejected petition Convicted rioters should NOT loose all benefits
More details
The rioting that happened in London was terrible and people who engaged in it should be held to account.
But to take away benefits from a group of the poorest of our fellow citizens is immoral and inhumane and will hurt children or parents who played no role.
It is also completely wrong as children, who have done nothing illegal, will lose their homes and suffer even more deprivation
The removal of a persons liberty is the punishment, we do not need to punish people again.
Say NO to this attack on the most powerless in our society
