Richie Rich Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Shhhhhh - don't tell the Obama admin about this. Just don't give them any ideas - 'kay?FromPrison Planet.com:http://www.prisonplanet.com/uk-government-to-install-surveillance-cameras-in-private-homes.html"State to spy on parents, make sure kids go to bed on time, attend school.The UK government is about to spend $700 million dollars installing surveillance cameras inside the private homes of citizens to ensure that children go to bed on time, attend school and eat proper meals.No you aren’t reading a passage from George Orwell’s 1984 or Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, this is Britain in 2009 ..."...believe it or not.Brings back some memories of this flick:"V For Vendetta" trailer:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8JEBxy9kz0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neworder Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Well if there is evidence that the parents have or could possibly be bad parents/abuse their children then fine install them...but this article makes it sound more widespread and just dished out to whoever.I hate this god damn country, **** weather, CCTV everywhere, taxed on everything, high fuel prices, high university tuition fees.... why so many immigrants want to come here is beyond me, its a hell whole of a country. Only + point I can see is the NHS being free...but it's still ****. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neworder Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 This link makes it sound a little less widespread and only targetted at troubled families http://current.com/items/90597013_uk-government-to-install-surveillance-cameras-in-private-homes.htmBUT STILL, surely there is a better way to deal with this? In my opinion a lot of the social disorder in the UK is down to broken families, current state legislation favours parents getting divorced. I currently am entitled to no Uni benefits, if my parents divorced and lived with my mum, I could put my mum's income down, which is 0 and get all the benefits I wanted but still get money from my dad. I see so many cocky idiots at Uni rolling around in money wasting it on alcohol and cars, I'd love a car but not only is my dad supporting me at uni he's having to through his taxes support these selfish idiots. Im sure there are isolated genuine cases but there are so many that get **** loads of benefits when they don't need them.This systems benefits divorce, which causes social harm especially to the poorest in society, which means they are more likely to turn to crime.Solution? Create benefits to encourage marriage and family unity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Legba Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Only + point I can see is the NHS being free...but it's still ****.But the Tax payer still pays for that through National insurance deductions from their wages. The only difference between here and places like the US and certain European countries is that they pay for Private healthcare and we pay for Public health care.I agree that "Rip off Britain" is alive and well. In the US you get twice as much food for half the price, free drink refills, and you don't get served by some ignorant tosser who can't even be bothered to look you in the eye!

Guest neworder Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 One thing Ive noticed over the years is the differences in attitude that Brits and Americans have to their country.On the whole, Americans Ive come across on this board and others are quite patriotic, proud of their country, proud to be American. Brits on the other hand, including myself are far from proud. I feel no pride in my country at all, sure there are times I love it, but taxation, the weather just to name a few make this a damn miserable country to live in. I owe nothing to this country and the first chance I get to emigrate to a country that looks better I'll take it. Only thing that would try and keep me back here would be family.

Shill Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Our government pays people to stay at home (via benefits) and watch 'the Jeremy Kyle Show' and 'Jerry Springer' - socialism doesn't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOPER&BURNETT Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Younger Americans seem to be taught now mainly through teachers it seems, that socialism is good. You can have the Government take care of you, and you really don't need to do anything. Younger Americans are starting to learn your rewarded for being lazy. And they are rewarded for being lazy.I know of no country that is flourishing, and is great that is socialist.Why go in that direction??

COOPER&BURNETT Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I've heard that England is not the same as it once was. You even have foreign students invading your country, then destroying it because they are angry because they can't get jobs. Makes you wonder why ENGLAND and the U.S. still permit this type of stuff.

Morgana Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I am sick of everything at the moment... I am sick of MPs fiddling their expenses and getting away with it... I am sick of people who contribute nothing to anyone getting what they want handed to them on a plate... and I am sick of those who are genuinely in need getting shafted hand over fist!
