Rejected petition Don't let the riots shape our society
More details
We the undersigned petition the government to take a calm and measured response to the recent riots and not rush into any curtailing of our civil liberties.
We do not want the unacceptable actions of a few to shape our society and legal system in a way that may have unforeseen consequences. We ask that the government takes proper consultation outside the 'heat' of the current climate.
We feel that attempting to impose measures outside of the criminal justice system such as the removal of benefits will further disaffect a segment of society that is already disenchanted and cause more harm than good to social cohesion.
