Blinky Wants to put CCTV in 'Bad Families' Homes

According to the Sunday Express at any rate.

There are some truly terrible families out there and years of mismanagement by both Labour and Tory governments have fostered a world they can breed in, but sticking CCTV in peoples homes?

They will be monitored to ensure that children attend school, go to bed on time and eat proper meals.

Private security guards will also be sent round to carry out home checks, while parents will be given help to combat drug and alcohol addiction.

It's the fucking Truman Show meets Shameless. People will be monitored? Checked by guards? Sorry, have I awoken in some strange new reality where the fucking USSR won the Cold War? Feels like it.

Anyone like to place bets when the first scandal from this happens? Some council estate floozy appearing on YouTube? Videos of the children making their way into kiddie fiddler rings? It's bound to happen.

And how much longer before what is considered a problem family is extended? This is worse than ID cards, Balls - and the rest of the New Labour Programme - have comprehensively failed to help the poor and needy, destroyed social mobility, demolished education, demoralized the nation, and now finally wish to take the coup de grace of turning the benefits class (for this is who this will be aimed at) into their pet sheep.
