We can clamp down on antisocial children before birth, says Blair

Tony Blair has said it is possible to identify problem children who could grow up to be a potential "menace to society" even before they are born.
Setting out plans for state intervention to prevent babies born into high-risk families becoming problem teenagers of the future, the prime minister said teenage mothers could be forced to accept state help before giving birth, as part of a clampdown on antisocial behaviour.

OMG! this is terrifying. so 'problem' parents could be forced to accept 'state intervention' so that they cannot have children??!!? Take this to its logical conclusion: surely it would mean that I, as a Blair NON-supporter, could quite convenently be defined as a 'problem' family.

Therefore: if you disagree with the state, we're gonna kill your unborn children

Wow. This sounds rather similar to the murder of every Egyptian firstborn, that is so celebrated in the 'passover'

sick.

...kids are [...] a threat to themselves...

Right!
It's for your own good - you know.

I have the impression from this article, that the hook to get an agreement from the public is the problem of teenage pregnancy. But as soon the public will give their OK to the government, they will do what they want:

This will be the poor and all those labelled "antisocial". We already had such a thing in Switzerland, where we sterilised Gypsy woman and:

1926. The Swiss Pro Juventute Foundation begins, "in keeping with the theories of eugenics and progress," to take children away from Roma without their consent, to change their names, and to put them into foster homes. This program continues until 1973, and is not brought to light until the 1980s. Switzerland has apologized to the Roma, but adamantly refuses to allow them access to the records which will help them locate the children taken from them.

i think we need to deal with these particular issues and we actually do intervene and we intervene at a very early stage. If you've got someone who is a teenage mum, not married, not in a stable relationship ... here is the support we are prepared to offer you, but we do need to keep a careful watch on you and how your situation is developing because all the indicators are that your type of situation can lead to problems in the future

I had to read Blair's statement several times as one strange impression didn't fade away - his frases were shaped in a way to suggest he was playing prerecorded word sequence like a reaction machine. Mishmash word salad on replay - would it be typical for Oxford graduate as i expect him to be to convey idea to his audience in such way? One more case of "ill-behaved" nose implant? I rewatched 1984 with Richard Burton just couple of days ago... Thanks, Papa Blair for presenting your Ministry of love reality show!

What is being proposed is a few steps away from eugenics and the "master race" idea.
Blair's mask of sanity is starting to show more cracks as time goes by.
