I agree with this Labour MP. regarding bringing back a certain amount of discipline, but I can't quite see how the smacking ban led to riots, or that it is easy for middle class parents to control their children because they can afford to send their children to private schools with it's stronger discipline and tennis lessons.
/// It was easier for middle-class parents to control their children as they could afford to pay for private schools, which have tougher discipline than state schools, as well as activities such as tennis lessons. ///

Apparently there is a smacking law, i.e any force that causes 'reddening' of the skin, must agree with Mr Lammy how can a black skin show redness?
/// He called for a reversal of Labour’s 2004 decision to tighten up the smacking law. Previously parents could use ‘reasonable chastisement’, while the new definition prohibits any force that causes ‘reddening of the skin’. Mr Lammy poured scorn on that description, saying it was irrelevant to black children. ///

I was also smacked at Infant school in 1953 at the age of 6 - right across the back of my legs by the Headmistess. My crime? Whispering to my friend in the next queue waiting to file back into school "Play again next playtime?" I have never forgotten it........the humiliation for a deed not even bad - just breaking the silence rule!
