  last week we had dave telling us about the no nonense sentences that would be handed
  out to rioters, in the background we saw people walking free from court, today we have the home secretary showing her ignorance of the law.
  
  "The Crown Prosecution Service is to order prosecutors to apply for anonymity to be lifted in any youth case they think it is in the public interest.
  
  The law currently protects the identity of any suspect under the age of 18, even if they are convicted, but it also allows for an application to have such restrictions lifted, if deemed appropriate.
  
  The Daily Telegraph reported concerns last week that young offenders involved in the disturbances that swept the country were walked from court without significant punishments - and were still remaining anonymous.
  
  But Theresa May has revealed that she wants as many of the young criminals identifying as possible.
  She said: "When I was in Manchester last week, the issue was raised to me about the anonymity of juveniles who are found guilty of crimes of this sort."
