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… ?
