Next thing you know he will be locking teenage mums up the second they get pregnant. While i do agree slightly in the principle that it is the upbringing that is responsible for the 'scally' population that litters our shopping centres and notably my work! lol, i do believe that people should be given the benefit of the doubt. As soon as the little bleeps start acting up they should be punished appropiatly. An ASBO these days is like a badge of honour to them. They need to be punished not pre-judged.

Just before I retire for the evening, I'd like to acknowledge he may be onto something. I live in a 'quaint' neighbourhood, yet 'chavs', for want of a better word, come nearly two miles - the local police have told us this - to cause trouble, make noise and damage cars and house windows here, where I live. My neighbours, many are elderly and infirm, are all as sick with this as I am. I am at my limit, and may start shooting with an air-rifle soon, if these bored, angry, drunk, stoned youths don't desist with their anti-social behaviour.
I have the right to peace. The police are useless, they often don't appear the same night there is trouble, and when they do drive round the corner, the kids run up alleyways to escape, and return later.
My science teacher at school proposed plastic tags fitted to 14 year old boys' Vas Deferens' tubules, to give them an effective, but easily reversible - later - vasectomy. It would stop a lot of teenage pregnancies, kids having kids.

I asked this question earlier and got a good response. It seems the majority of us adults are sick of sponging teen pregnant mums. Children should not be giving birth to children. Why did we bother to set an age for underage sex. That was made to protect our kids. Why aren't the fathers prosecuted for having under age sex any more. Perhaps we should reintroduce the word illegitimate to our language, oops sorry, I forgot that teen moms can't read. Good on you Mr Blair. Wipe the smile from their smug little faces, and if they have more than two kids cap their benefits for five years, and make them do home study so they can get off their lazy backsides and get a job when their kids are of school age.

Well, I think its important for the programs to be available for young mothers to help their kids grow up with more advantages, but it must also be said that Mr. Blair is a total moron, and doesnt really posses the brains to wrap around this subject without putting his foot in his mouth. He is a "party line" Bush brown noser, and seemlingly not well liked in his country. One cannot expect him to address this issue without being offensive. It really does sound like genetic determinism, and it appears a little Orwellilan. We had similar assumptions about all the "crack babies" here in the US also. What next? Should we go to all the black moms and tell them what our forcast for thier kids is, and what we think they should have to do about it? Maybe we should enforce all the parents with repeat DUI's to take extra help so the effects of having alcoholic parents wont adversely affect those kids. How far could this be taken? Its lunacy

Next you will learn is that £x amount of government money is being set aside to help with this. Many will apply just like they do when they say their children have Attention Deficit Disorder and get a small fortune each week in order to entertain the child and stop it getting bored.

I appreciate there are individuals who genuinely need this help but am also aware of three in one family claiming the amount and they all have a whale of a time at whose expense????? Parents don't work - no need to.

He talks so much rubbish why take any notice. Tomorrow he will have an answer to cure cancer. Then he will get peace in the middle east. He talks out of his political survival suit. How can you point a finger at one group and say they will bring up their children in one way or another. He is 9 years too late. He let the human rights laws get in the way of bringing up children. Even his own son has had his moments. Its utter political claptrap once again.

I don't see a problem with identifying prospective parents who are likely to have problems raising children and giving support. This benefits everyone including the wider society but most important the child itself.

Oh My God how Dickension! Total discrimination. Its like a witch hunt against teen mums.Disgusting. How about tackling corrupt mps, mps who sleep with prostitutes and rent boys. High society drug use. Target the vulnerable and make them a scape goat seems to be his attitude.

I'll repeat my reply here:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/5301824.stm

"Mr Blair said it was possible to spot the families whose circumstances made it likely their children would grow up to be a "menace to society".

He said teenage mums and problem families could be forced to take help to head off difficulties. "

Doesn't he look good in his neo-fascist hat?

This is appalling.

It's time he started worrying about the menace our society poses to this planet.

I wrote this in my blog on August 12th, talking about the government's tendency to blame Joe public for our environmental ills.

"As we begin our downward spiral our governments will increasingly refuse to govern, instead blaming easily targetted parts of the populace for our woes. And when the energy crunch starts to hurt, they'll move from blame to punishment, lashing out blindly as the rug is pulled from beneath their feet.

Welcome to the new fascism. "

Seems apposite in this context too.
