UK Plans To Monitor 20,000 Families' Homes Via CCTV

Posted by timothy on from the words-fail-but-pictures-deliver dept.

metrix007 points out a story in the Sunday Express with more surveillance-camera madness from the UK, where the government now wants to place 20,000 CCTV cameras to monitor families ("the worst families in England") within their own homes, to make sure that "kids go to bed on time and eat healthy meals and the like. This is going too far, and hopefully will not pass. Where will it end?"

    Remove the defacto right that everybody is supposed to have to children - a lot of the less intelligent people will never make good parents, and shouldn't be allowed.

    How to prevent it? Tell them if they do get a million dollar/pound fine and 10 years imprisonment.
    Too many people on the planet as it is.
