British families to be monitored by CCTV in their homes...
THOUSANDS of the worst families in England are to be put in “sin bins” in a bid to change their bad behaviour, Ed Balls announced yesterday.

The Children’s Secretary set out £400million plans to put 20,000 problem families under 24-hour CCTV super-vision in their own homes.

They will be monitored to ensure that children attend school, go to bed on time and eat proper meals.

Private security guards will also be sent round to carry out home checks, while parents will be given help to combat drug and alcohol addiction.

3. Sounds like "Clockwork Orange" to me.
Amazing how these novelists can just see the future.

11. Nothing creates healthy well adjusted children
like having strangers watch them every time they undress in their own bedroom.
