Well, here you go. Some positive movement on the riots from Parliament.
Ministers plan removal of rioters’ benefits
That's pretty much what I suggested at the top of this thread.
Of course, it requires a conviction, which is going to cost the Crown more money than they would ever get from stopping the benefits.

Yeah, that "shutting down social networking" shit is pretty scary. I fucking hate Friendface (google it), but I hate draconian over-reactive censorship even more.

"A 20-year-old is due in court after police discover alleged plans for a Colchester water fight circulating on BBM and Facebook"

Apparently the British government is simply following in the footsteps of Iran, where water fights, and fun of any sort, is banned.
This month a water fight attended by thousands of young Iranians attracted the attention of Tehran's morality police and led to a series of arrests.

Keyword sniffing is keyword sniffing. They have been doing it since before 9/11. Watch every email going overseas and look for specific keywords about drugs, explosives or money.
