Rejected petition Stronger Riot Response

More details

Deploy the military to deal with rioters. Images and videos from towns and cities throughout England have shown the country in a state of war. Mindless violence against individuals and businesses cannot be accepted.

A zero-tolerance approach is necessary to show rioters and bystanders-come-looters that this behaviour will not be tolerated.
