5 years before this applies to every home, not just "high-risk" homes: http://www.theherald.co.uk/news/news/display.var.1640679.0.0.php One wonders if the British people care about liberty at all. I suspect not.
The British are a most resilient people, and they will persevere. However, they will best do so not simply by pursuing their ways with rigidity, but by adaptation. They have been most historically successful when they adopted this approach.
Of course they will survive; millennia of despotic, tyrannical rulers throughout shows that anyone can survive. The question is whether or not they will do so as a free people. I suspect not.
"For the children" has stolen far more rights than "terrrrrrrristsss" But you don't hear near as much from the usual suspects.
Because people like children and are sympathetic to them. people don't like terrorists and are not sympathetic to them. People who are popular/well liked/sympathised with get away with a lot more than people who are not.
Did you actually read the entire article or just see "CCTV" and have one of your special happy moments?
He's just trying to shock people into looking at the problem more seriously. It's not as if anyone in their right mind thinks this is actually going to happen.
Heaven knows the social workers and children's charities this guy criticized as being unable to solve the problem wouldn't be biased in the matter.
Which still isn't addressing the point that the whole point of this article is "this guy has a suggestion, here is no-one agreeing with it"
This already happens, it's a reality show called "Honey, We're Killing the Kids". This is just BBC3 getting more footage.
Apart from the excellent point Bailey made, can I point out that this is absolutely nothing to do with 'Britain'? I know it's a difficult concept for others, but Scotland is a separate country, with its own parliament and laws...
Are you actually this dense? I just said they would survive, but that they will not have anything resembling freedom in the relatively near future, and probably for a long time.
I'd expect them to be biased in the other direction, but yeah, maybe the pride issue actually was strong enough to skew a group in the "don't give us more power/influence" direction for once . . .
