There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

All is becoming clearer.
That rotten 'redtop' rag called The SunTONY Blair last night backed The Sun’s campaign, saying problem kids should be tackled before they are even born.
He pledged to deal with dysfunctional households before the parents have children.
So, it's the Sun wot dun it.
Talk about tie yourself up in knots. The government made it a criminal offence for parents to smack their children. Then when the kids start running out of control, they say, 'Something must be done about this'. 'I know let's target the parents'. Doublethink.
I'll give you my own personal example:
I have two lads. Both grown up and in their twenties. My eldest lad was a great kid. In fact he was one of the best behaved children I'd ever encountered. Then their was his younger brother.![]()
Now, I never hit my kids. I took my discipline ethos from the Quakers. Non-violent action. I found it hard to do in practise, but worthwhile. However the sanction of corporal punishment was available to me should I wish to use it.
Government should not be getting involved in parenting. One only has to look at the balls up they make with kids in carehomes to see that they get it spectacularly wrong.
I know that there are good and bad parents. Some parents will need some support to help them with their children but it should not be compulsory.
BTW I was brought up by my mum after pater left......I'm so glad that was in the 70s and not now.![]()

I think its a good idea, up to the compulsion part. The fact is though that the teenage mother and absente father are the real problem. You need to make it so that people never get to that stage. The parents are usually the ones who need fixing in the extrme cases.
The pre-birth thing would be counter-productive pigion-holing, though.
