The Prime Minister
My hon. Friend makes an important point. A lot of those rumours were circulating. Although the use of social media helped gangs to do bad things, it also helped the law-abiding to know what was happening and how to react and stop it.
Mr Kevin Barron (Rother Valley) (Lab)
Violence against others and theft should clearly be dealt with by the criminal law, but does the Prime Minister accept that removing people from social housing for unacceptable behaviour and putting them in social housing in other communities, taking that unacceptable behaviour with them, does not solve the problem?
The Prime Minister
It can be part of solving the problem; it says to people in social housing, “If you misbehave, you can be thrown out of your house.”
