These people are mindless thugs, they are highly organised mindless thugs!
There's no excuse for violence, the police must respond with the utmost severity!
These riots show the need to restore law and order on the streets; now is not the time for political pointscoring!
The rioters are all dangerous brown people; I am not a racist!
I have every confidence in the police's ability to handle these disturbances, which is why I am chairing an emergency civil defence meeting!
