We, the Public of the United Kingdom, call upon the Government to consider the reintroduction of Corporal Punishment for those convicted of participating in the recent criminality on the streets of English Cities. For too long we have seen criminal acts result in lenient and ineffective punishment, and demand that Government puts in place measures to re-establish a Fear of Consequence in those who treat our Laws and Society with contempt, and place our Public Services in danger as a result of their lawlessness

I have been reading the messages you leave here and it is clear that many of you feel the same anger I do when seeing our streets treated with such disrespect. I am currently reaching out to local representatives to ensure this demand for real consequences reaches the right desks.

Seeing this level of support confirms that I am not the only one shaken by the destruction of our streets. People are tired of watching their neighborhoods suffer without real accountability for those responsible. This momentum proves that we demand a return to order and consequences that command actual respect.

About time. These people have no respect for anything because they know they will get a slap on the wrist. Bring back proper discipline.
