Riot Sentences, Nobbly Knees and 117 117

Ronnie talks to MP James Clappison about riot sentences, asking him why he thinks rioters should be locked up. He also talks to Nana Moon about her new 117 117 directory enquiries service.

Some riot sentences are too severe - that's the claim from some human rights campaigners after two people were given four years for inciting riots on facebook... One man will appeal against his imprisonment...

But is the harsh treatment the right way forward? Or should we be more intelligent when sentencing?

James Clappison is the Conservative MP for Hertsmere, and member of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Affairs Select Committee - he debates the point with Ronnie.
