British government to install and monitor CCTV cameras in private homes!!!

According to Wired.com, following up a Sunday Express report, the British government plans to install and monitor CCTV cameras in 20,000 British homes. The government will spend 400 million pounds (the equivalent of $688 million) on the project.

The purpose? To monitor families, ensuring that the kids are doing their homework, going to bed early, and eating right. Moreover, according to the same report, the government will maintain a private army to be “sent round to carry out home checks.” Kids and parents will be forced to sign “behavior contracts” which will “set out parents’ duties to ensure children behave and do their homework.”
