Nigel Farage speaks out on riots
The ongoing riots and looting across the UK have prompted UKIP Leader Nigel Farage to urge a recall of Parliament and immediate implementation of a zero tolerance policing policy in a bid to curb the unrest. "We are witnessing a complete breakdown of law and order in parts of London and the West Midlands. Police strategy and management has been slow, weak and reactive since Saturday night," Mr Farage said. "A lack of law and order has resulted in what can only be described as thugs controlling the streets. They seem to think that they can get literally get away with daylight robbery. "With a vacuum of political leadership, both at the Met and in the Government, a bad situation has been allowed to spiral out of control. Hundreds of hardworking people have seen their homes and property damaged or destroyed. Many are wondering who is going to protect them. "The police on the street are doing their best, but it is clear that resources are tight and their hands are tied. We think the time has come for zero tolerance policing, with logistical support from the Military, in order to regain control of the streets and restore law and order. "We also believe that parliament should be recalled immediately in order to properly address this situation. So far the British people have been let down by the political elite of this country. The time has come for hard and fast decisive action so the majority of British people can once again feel same in their homes and on the streets." Read full article
