(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - In a statement to the MPs recalled from their holidays, Cameron discussed a range of steps to restore order in the English cities affected by the massive unrest.
New powers will be given to the police to remove the protesters' masks under any conditions if they were used as part of criminal activity, the role of social media will be reviewed as there were regarded as the organizer of the recent unrests, and councils will be given Recovery Scheme to help the affected businesses and communities.
Prime Minister said that the government was considering new option of giving new sentencing powers and vowed that the huge number of police would be present at London streets over the weekend.
"We will not put up with this in our country. We will not allow a culture of fear to exist on our streets and we will do whatever it takes to restore law and order and to rebuild our communities," Cameron said.
He stressed that the Police will order protesters to uncover their face, saying: “I can announce today that we are going to give the police the discretion to remove face coverings under any circumstances where there is reasonable suspicion that they are related to criminal activity."
As the MPs expressed their concerns over the role of the social media in organizing the massive unrest, Cameron said that the government began working with the Police, the intelligence services and industry “to look at whether it would be right to stop people communicating via these websites and services when we know they are plotting violence, disorder and criminality," he said.
He also outlined plans to help the affected businesses get back on their feet, giving a £10 million Recovery Scheme from the Treasury reserve to help local councils to handle the damages caused by the recent unrest.
"On repairing the damages, I can confirm that any individual, homeowner or business that has suffered damage to or loss of their buildings or property as a result of rioting, can seek compensation under the Riot Damages Act, even if uninsured," he said.
He claimed that the fight back has just begun and police will track down the protesters, find them, charge, and punish them, and that they will soon pay for what they have done.
“We need to show the world, which has looked on appalled, that the perpetrators of the violence we have seen on our streets are not in any way representative of our country - nor of our young people.
“We need to show them that we will address our broken society and restore a sense of stronger sense of morality and responsibility - in every town, in every street and in every estate,” he added.
Labour leader Ed Miliband claimed that his party is standing "shoulder to shoulder" with the coalition government to tackle the protesters across England.
