Rejected petition Riot Controls
More details
Why has the Armed Forces not been involved in controlling Riots within the UK. As the information states "The aim of the Ministry of Defence and the Armed Forces is: to deliver security for the people of the United Kingdom and the Overseas Territories by defending them, including against terrorism; and to act as a force for good by strengthening international peace and stability." My Petition is to get the Armed Forces to protect our own people within theUK borders We should have deployed the armed forces to control the riots in Brixton and prior events.
