The Met Police did well in dealing with vandals in London yesterday

Vandals who have little respect for the rule of law and democracy behaved badly in London yesterday.  They attacked police, shops, cash machine and banks.  These criminal rabble-rousers did much damage.  They are waterless clouds, tumours and wild waves foaming up their shame.  They are blemishes on the peaceful protests.

They deserve strong community punishments that make them do something constructive and useful for society.

We should be grateful to the Met Police for protecting the public from these vicious hooligans who are so destructive.
