£400 million ($668 million) will be spend on installing and monitoring CCTV cameras in the homes of private citizens. Why? To make sure the kids are doing their homework, going to bed early and eating their vegetables. The scheme has, astonishingly, already been running in 2,000 family homes. The government’s “children’s secretary†Ed Balls is behind the plan, which is aimed at problem, antisocial families. The idea is that, if a child has a more stable home life, he or she will be less likely to stray into crime and drugs.
It gets worse. The government is also maintaining a private army, incredibly not called “Thought Policeâ€, which will “be sent round to carry out home checks,†according to the Sunday Express. And in a scheme which firmly cements the nation’s reputation as a “nanny stateâ€, the kids and their families will be forced to sign “behavior contracts†which will “set out parents’ duties to ensure children behave and do their homework.â€
