    Oh Dear (tm) Police State Looms

    This f***ing government. Rather than tackle the roots of the problem they paper over the cracks with draconian measures of social control. PLEASE don't vote for them again.

        can't

        In complete agreement with you, Lucy.
        If you find this post offensive, please insert "Chan" before and "tho" after, then it should be OK.

              So it is wrong for the police to target the known trouble makers and make their lives difficult. I fail to see how this is a bad thing. If these little cherubs were not out causing grief to others then they wouldn't be on this particular list would they.
              Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

              I preferred version 1!

                These measures will just be used to control the law abiding middle classes. the chavs will still get away with it.

                Root cause is fatherlessness. Sort out the family courts and all else will get alot better.

                    No, it's wrong to introduce powers that can apply to anybody (which are open to abuse) to solve a problem with 0.1% of the population.

                    These sort of powers should have judicial oversight before they are invoked.
