Cameron said that the contention of the riots in London is the result of massing 16,000 police force and the authorizing to use rubber bullets. The PM said that all measures are still on the table and that it would come to even using water canons, if the riots continue in London, Birmingham or Manchester.
The first fatality was recorded yesterday, when a person was killed by the police. Then in Birmingham three men were killed as they were protecting their neighbors from looters.
More than 1,000 people were arrested since Saturday, but the police is accused of manifesting restraint. A poll shows that the population demands more action on the part of the police and that the path of tolerance toward such acts is loosing ground by the minute.
In a poll released on Wednesday, the Britons demand by 90 percent the use of the water canons, 77 percent agree to deploying the military, while 33 say that police should be allowed to fire live ammunition at those who riot.
57 percent of the population considers that Cameron handled things badly, flooding the streets with police and placing parts of the capital under lockdown, with shops closed and choppers buzzing in the air.
Cameron promised that all those who participated in the riots and were caught on street cameras would be brought before justice, and alluded that his government would do whatever it takes to make sure that cell phones to not get to call people to protest, without any concern for the protest of the human rights activists.
The Prime Minister also admitted that the situation shows that there is something “sick” in the British society, and that the riots are the sign of a political problem and of a moral degradation.
“We will not allow a culture of fear to exist in our country,” Cameron said, adding that it was unacceptable that such things happen in Britain.
The Prime Minister has demanded an extraordinary session of the parliament on Thursday.
On Tuesday police reports came that Mark Duggan, the young man who sparked all these riots, never fired his gun. Police were concerned that this would incite to a new wave of violence.
The events in Britain caught the attention of leaders from all over the world, some of them expressing their mind on the matter.
Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called on Wednesday on the United Nations to take a stand on Britain, arguing that the voice of the people of England is being silenced violently by the police, while the international body does nothing.
He made a point of explaining that the UN was using double standards in its approach and said that if half of the police reaction in the streets of London happened in any other part of the globe there would be a condemnation of the country in question.
Iranian press took the opportunity to talk about what was going on in the UK as of a “civil war.”
Robert Gabriel Mugabe, president of Zimbabwe, also slammed the United Kingdom and the United States, saying that these countries should solve their own set of problems and leave other nations to solve theirs.
Mugabe said that “England is on fire, London especially,” and expressed hope that the British authorities are able to actually put the fire out.
Many analysts fear that the way the word economy is heading will only fuel reactions like the one of the population in the outskirts of the great cities in Britain.
