Totally made up. The article appeared in the Express; a paper known for 'reinterpreting' the news. What actually happened was Ed Balls stated he wanted to expand the Family Intervention Projects. http://www.respect.gov.uk/members/article.aspx?id=8678 The worst-of-the-worst offenders will be moved to residential units where they will be monitored. This is akin to imprisoning offenders and is an absolute last resort. The UK Government is not installing CCTVs into homes. Next time, I'll start quoting National Enquirer news at you to defend against, because that's what the swathes of people that have been passing this around as actual news have been doing. Here's how a less fictional, but equally right-wing paper with an agenda described the same bit of news: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/5888162/Worst-families-in-Britain-will-be-put-in-sin-bins.html Now here's the news from 2006 when these schemes were set up. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6119452.stm What happened over a week ago to start this whole thing off was that Ed Balls announced an expansion to the Family Intervention Projects. That's it. An expansion to a project that has been running for three years. That's what the fucking Express does to the news. It's a liability. -- Jared Earle - [email protected] http://jearle.eu/ - http://blog.23x.net/ "Life is SPORK, Highness!
