Riot Act

05/08/2024 By Desmond Swayne

Demands for the recall of Parliament are just ‘gesture politics’ unless there is something useful that it will do.
Here is a suggestion: legislate to reintroduce the Riot Act of 1714.
Once a riot is declared by the magistrate then everyone must disperse; merely being present thereafter is a serious criminal offence.
The miscreants could then be forced publicly to do hard labour in chain gangs wearing bright pink uniforms (another brilliant idea from Rwanda)
