The Prime Minister, David Cameron, has stepped in and ordered the FA to dock Tottenham Hotspur ten points. Speaking to Gary Lineker, he revealed that “the outrageous behaviour and wanton destruction in Tottenham last week had triggered a series of riots and it was his duty to send out a clear message to these troublemakers that strong and tough action would be taken against clubs near these flashpoints”. He added “Let me be clear. If necessary, we will send teams to prison where there is trouble and take strong and tough action on behalf of the majority of decent hard-working people who support other teams”.
