Petition Politicians should pay from their own pockets the cost of telling courts to throw away the rule book on Riot sentancing

More details

MP's who fail to look for any real solutions to the causes of the UK riots and instead just try to increase their followers on twitter by dishing out sound bites like "throw away the rule book" when sentencing for UK Riot related crimes should be forced to pay from their own pockets for the costs of locking up teenager rioters who only followed the lead of MP's in thinking it was acceptable to take that which was not theirs.

MP's fraudulent expenses claims did not set a good example to young people on when it is not acceptable to just help yourself and now they should pay when those same young people follow that example.
