Blairs Minority Report.

GAH You got to it first........

I was going to post that

[Louis VI the Fat]

At the risk of turning into IA's new mortal enemy, I think it are bold thoughts like these that have made Blair the greatest post-war British PM. The man is a genius, a visionary.

Mr Blair said it was possible to spot the families whose circumstances made it likely their children would grow up to be a "menace to society".

He said teenage mums and problem families could be forced to take help to head off difficulties.

He said the government had to intervene much earlier to prevent problems developing when children were older.

Oh please for the love of god say you dont mean that....

I think it's a fairly common sense statement, really. He's just saying that due to their family circumstances, some children are more at risk of going off the rails. If we can identify these children early, then more can be done to prevent this.

I don't see what's so abhorrent about it.

So if we know who the criminals will be, we can just apply the solution from this thread:

and Great Britian is a much safer place!

Or is the NHS is too understaffed to perform government-mandated abortions?

You don't mind the government ordering you how to raise your children?

I guess almost all love for the 'animating contest of freedom' is gone from Britain.

Pity.

Needless nannying, I dislike. However, I don't have a problem with state intervention to prevent people wrecking their kids' lives.

I love that Gallic sense of humour.

Actually, I am amazed that anyone should think that this is a good idea.

How would you feel if Blair and his henchmen decided that it was you and your children that needed the Blair treatment?

Or do you think that this won't apply to you. Once a precedent has been set......

Either Blair is failing to punish criminals or is creating a Nanny state.

I think that this is rather like the NHS database that is costing billions yet is thought not to work. The people involved are just not good enough to make it work. Look at Google. They some how have a database spanning most of the internet.

This system is another bodge job where ill trained incompetants will have another stream of information that they'll misuse.

Criminals? there are no criminals, as they havn't been born yet. (If ever)

Smacks of eugenics to me.

And there are going to be "repect" squads:

It does.

[rory_20_uk]

Well, we've got rid of natural selection - or even turned it on its head. Professionals have fewer kids later.

Eugenics is when parents abort kids with Downs which is OK, as no one uses that word.

I eager await the Blair jugend.
