I watched Ian Duncan Smith today on the news, I found him to be very uncompromising.

As you say the only possible outcome of such a move would have likely more crime committed.
I am beginning to think this Govt is way too extreme,there is alsways a middle way to try before suce extreme measures.
I don't agree with much Cameron is saying at present and also Theresa May, she needs to make her mind up whether she supports the police at all or doesn't. She seems all in a mess at present.A terrible Home Secretary.

Ian Duncan Smith is wrong on this, not to rule it out for the future, but not now as a knee jerk reaction.
I have no respect for the Lib Dems but I hope they stop this nonsense in its tracks and quickly too with their 57 votes in Parliament.
The Govt can get nothing passed without Lib Dem votes.this could be a way back for them to procedd with caution rather than haste.
