The literal Nanny State
A team of "supernannies" is to be sent to some of Britain’s most deprived areas to help parents control antisocial children, Tony Blair revealed today. The parenting experts will be sent to 77 areas with high levels of unruly behaviour, teenage pregnancies and truancy from school. The £4m scheme will also force the parents of disruptive children to attend parenting courses.
Should we laugh or cry? Not only is the British governement going to make the British public pay for these supernannies, but it will also force parents to attend parenting courses. This is not for the government to take care of. What’s next? Will the British government send out super pet-nannies in order to "help" people with their noisy, and oh so problematic pets?
Britain should abandon the "Great" in front of it officially. By most accounts Britain is completely screwed. Disarmed, with more and more people dependent on welfare.
Once I get this cloning bidness going I’m promptly going to send an Army of Winston Churchills to reclaim the empire.
Gabriel, you shouldn’t be giving these people ideas. If the success of Supernannies on TV has inspired this policy, could a new Ministry of Pet Psychology led by "The Dog Whisperer" Cesar Millan be far behind?
I am to see state violence (taxes) are justified for important causes in the land of the Queen "God save the queen her fascist regime"
