Suggestions for dealing with the rioting chavs

[BA to the Stars]

Highly targeted Val Doonican songs played at maximum volume from vans equipped with loudspeakers will soon disperse these yobbos and have the beneficial side effect of soothing older innocent bystanders

For hardcore chavs, we could use Max Bygraves

Obviously the response must be proportional, you wouldnt want to deploy Telly Savalas 'Deck of Cards' for mere arson , for example

You boys have gone soft. This'll clear the streets;

With all the army camp closures they can turn some of them into prison camps where the scum learn some discipline, boot camp style, before being let back into the community.

So, instead of a bunch of sickly hooligans who run away at the first sign of real authority, we'll have a bunch of highly disciplined fit and healthy hooligans?

Hey, I know what- lets bring back National Service. That way we have a bunch of highly disciplined fit and healthy hooligans who've been taught how to kill effectively.

There must be some minefields in Afghanistan that need clearing Shirley?

They're already outrunning the fuzz so much be pretty fit. We've been wrong about them wearing track suits as some dodgy dress code. They've been practicing for this for years!

Surely the army has the skill to train up these youths to become decent citizens. I've seen it loads of times in the movies.

Better than writing them all off to languish in prison, learning the wrong skills, and getting early release in much the same state they're in now.

empty the IOW put them all on there with extremists, BNP types and peedos - arm them all and let them fight it out Battle Royale style...last man standing wins....I'd buy Sky + for that....

Cut the support that being a member of our civilized society brings. Sort of Escape from New York style. Put em all on the Isle of Wight. No dole, no NHS, no passports etc. Deport any that are from foreign shores immediately.

It would be good to see a spell in the army offered as an alternative to prison for young offenders.

Guessing they're in a gang because they want a sense of belonging, having common goals, customs and rituals.

Army gives them all that, but within a positive framework, and gives them skills to earn a living.

Show them there is an alternative.
