Big Brother for reals.

(now I know that the express is not exactly a bastion of high quality journalism, but if this is true....and judging from this "Around 2,000 families have gone through these Family Intervention Projects so far" it seems to be happening)

holy shit? thats pretty goddamn fucked up.

What's even more fucked up is that the UK Children's Secretary's name is Ed Balls. Clearly a pedophile.

ARRRGGGGGGHHH!

Disappearing the families will probably be more effective and cheaper.

this one too: get money by telling on your neighbors/neighbours

Great, Britain.

I hard about this earlier and I heard that it was just another marketing gossip/media shity news paper story that won't come to life.

well done i am world leaders

big brother labour mandem on their last legs, shooting out more sinewy wank legislation. it's amazing, the conservatives just keep quiet, vaguely perpetuating the idea they'll sort out all the scummy proles/everything, whilst labour just brick it ('we got policies yeah!').

quote for truth (but not for the truth of quote); "Shadow Home Secretary Chris Grayling said: “This is all much too little, much too late." YES BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS CHRISTOPHER.

im kind of looking forward to the tories being in really. government hate at the moment is just tragic. once those cunts are in it's all going to kick off; "so, what do you propose to do to deal with these tabloid 'worst families'"? "well er... * put them all in a ring, make them fight to death with mangoes... and the winner gets shot. then we pawn off their belongings and use the money to buy buses that arn't bent."

*10 points if you get the reference

His last name is Balls.

britain does it best

ppv

it's not a big brother state, it's a peaceful civilised state reining in its uncivilised chavs.

You gotta love the way the express dumbs things down:

Ministers hope the move will reduce the number of youngsters who get drawn into crime because of their chaotic family lives, as portrayed in Channel 4 comedy drama Shameless.

Because basing policy on television programs is always the way to go.

Balls.

Parents are being given the right to report mothers and fathers of disruptive pupils to education authorities. Ed Balls, the Schools Secretary, yesterday announced plans to bring in contracts for parents, to improve behaviour in the classroom and to encourage families to take more responsibility for their children.

 

He hopes that the proposal, which will be in an education Bill in the next session of Parliament, will help to stop one pupil disrupting a class. “If the large majority of parents are doing the right thing, but a small minority do not engage, you can have one lesson for 30 kids disrupted by one child,” Under the plans parents will have to reaffirm their support for the Home School Agreement which sets out parents’ responsibilities to make sure their children follow the school discipline code, the policy on uniforms and homework.

 

the population are whinging about this here too ... but the problem really isn't the bad student it's

a] that they have taken away resources that would have enable educators to direct problem children into more specialized programs with more 1 on 1 attention with teachers in special separate schools ...

c] once apon a time problem children could have left the school system altogether earlier in their life .. participating in paid employment and getting a feeling of empowerment and responsability that comes with this ... instead governments are pushing to keep all the kids in school right up until the last year .. for no fucking good reason ...

b] these poorly educated disruptive children that have lost the opportunity to develop life skills and learn a trade during their formative years outside the disempowering straitjacket school life ... now after 2-3 of sitting around at school doing fuck all .. besides finding ways to relieve their boredom through drugs and truancy ... they then jump straight from a government funded education to a government funded life on the dole queue ... a life filled with unplanned pregnancies dubstep and grime ... (ohh the pain ;-p)

so ultimately here is another case of government treating the symptoms not the cause ... these people are lunatics /...
