David Cameron has pledged to do "whatever it takes" to restore order to the streets after widespread rioting in some of England's cities. Here are the top lines from the debate:
• Mr Cameron says the police got it wrong in the first hours of the rioting
• A package of measures has been announced to help homeowners and businesses affected by the riots
• The Government is to examine whether police should be given a social media 'killswitch' to prevent rioters organising themselves
• Police will be given powers to order people to remove face masks

Mr Cameron also criticised Egyptian efforts to block access to the internet and called for the bar to be lifted.

I have been post links from various sources on the trouble and today I'm have messages say "you cannot post to this page" and if I try like a post "Sorry, we cannot write to our database at this time"
Something very dark is coming to the UK and the government know it. This is their way of trying to control it.
Remember though. This is the same government that praised the social media when it was being used by the people of Egypt etc to fuel their uprising's.. These are also the same government that was actually arming the people of at least 6 other countries to go up against there governments in all out civil war.
Hypocrites.

I am disturbed that they all seem far more interested in introducing a raft of measures which will curtail our civil liberties rather than properly punishing those responisble and looking at the deeper causes of the riots.
Rather than the rioters getting punished, it seems everyone else is going to pay the price.

The government IS the darkness in the UK - the government and the establishment. They've just now moved it all up a gear. Now they are showing us their iron fist and their real face.
