It begins.*

Quote:
The Children’s Secretary set out £400million plans to put 20,000 problem families under 24-hour CCTV super-vision in their own homes.

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

How does CCTV prove a child has gone to school rather than out with their mates?

The Times was less worried about this than the plan to pay for 20,000 poor people to go on a gap year. On balance I tend to agree.

Would disguise unemployment. For one year.

They'd be at university if they weren't on a gap year, though. It's only a gap year if it's before you go to university.

Gap years are the preserve of the middle classes anyway. It's a stupid idea, I reckon.

How many people would need to be employed to watch all that CCTV, 'round the clock? 50,000?
