UK report says looters should be shot

A report into this summer's UK riots suggests police should be able to use live ammunition to stop unrest.

Police Unions are believed also to be asking for clarification of what to do about people they find looting the public purse and robbing the public to finance their own grotesque bonuses.

'Our members are waiting for the go-ahead to shoot bankers on sight,' said a spokesperson.

'The police aren't that popular at the moment, but if we can persuade the government to let us gun down some of those greedy, corrupt, self-serving parasites it should make a huge difference.

'Just imagine if there was open season on Goldman Sachs... The punters would love it.'

He added that citizens across the UK thought that pocketing a huge bonus for wrecking the economy was more serious than stealing a pair of trainers.

Wanting to lighten the mood, the spokesmen continued: 'Have you heard this one? A young banker decided to get his first tailor-made suit. As he tried it on, he reached down to put his hands in the pockets and to his surprise he found none. He mentioned this to the tailor who asked him, "You're a banker, right?" The young man answered, "Yes, I am." "Well, whoever heard of a banker with his hands in his own pockets?"

'Basically, bankers need shooting,' he added. 'Everyone knows that. In what other industry could you cause a complete disaster and end up getting paid shed loads of taxpayers' money?

'Time to polish up the Bren gun, I think.'
