We discussed:
- what criminal offences rioters and looters are being charged with, and why;
- the Riot (Damages) Act 1886, and
- whether rioters and looters should be denied social housing;
- the European Court of Human Rights’ judgments in Al Skeini and Al Jedda;
- the withdrawal of human rights organisations from participation in the Gibson inquiry into complicity in torture;
- the government’s Bill of Rights Commission; and finally
- Hackgate, the terms of reference of the Leveson inquiry, and what to hope and fear from it.
