unbelievable!

I think its stupid. It may work well though as a threat to the worst of the ASBO families, something needs to sort them out so if this works then fairplay to the government.

no no no no AND NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is not good. it's feels like having cops nad all other government agencies in your home, and if your kid is at school, you simply cant go and make love to your wife, because someone is watching... and tomorrow you will receive government complain that you are not satisfactory for your wife so she can't be a good mother and you will have to be replaced... or you are to "brutal" PPP

The danger of this sort of thing is that it sets a precedent, that could slowly grow into other areas of society. First ASBO families, then the family home of all criminals, then the homes of their relatives, then the homes of people just suspected of crimes, then the homes of any one in 'problem areas' and so on. Eventually the day comes when they announce that they will install the cameras in everyone's home 'for their own safety and peace of mind'...

Seriously? This really sounds like a big joke. Sure you're not pulling my leg?

Oh dear looks like toms are trying the old lets see what crap we can get them to beleive. Whats this some sort of trial on a piece for " Do you always beleive what you read on the net" or some such ?
Come on people the Human Rights lobby would have a field day with this, if it was true.

My thoughts exactly Mactronix

Seems like a good idea to me.
There're SOO many terrible parents and aren't 'bringing up' their kids. Those kids then turn into the next generations criminals and reprobates.

The tricky bit comes with, what's good/bad parenting?
I believe smacking certainly has it's place in parenting, yet it's illegal.

Turns out its a miss-reported article. Nice job there toms editorial staff

I would like to point out to non-UK readers that the Daily Express is not a credible source. I wouldn't wipe my @r$e with it. Reactionary racist drivel and "scoops" about celebrities are all you'll find within its pages.

This said, I wouldn't put it past Nu-Lab. It has all their hallmarks: A huge waste of public money, authoritarian intrusion into the private lives of citizens, utter failure to see why anyone would think this would be sinister. Oh yes, I could believe any one of our cabinet could have dreamed up this sort of idea. What is Jacqui Smith up to these days anyhow?

Roll on the election!

This story isn't true, although Labour aren't for off meddling to this extent anyway. Thankfully, they have a year left in government tops, before they get booted out for a few decades after the next general election.
