Another hard day for a Tory. Boris 'the bufoon' Johnson, has praised the way the Police handled the recent riots, declaring that they did a "fantastic job". His remarks were met with appreciative booing.

No doubt he has similar praise for the courts, that have seen sentences of months and months imposed on some people, in one case on a young kid who stole something as valuable as a bottle of water.

The sentences handed out so far, have been far greater than sentences handed down for similar offences before the riots.

not quite comparable - the police were attacked by both conservatives and liberals for not being heavy-handed enough

the courts are certainly making up for that tho
