Strings? There Were Strings?


If you're in Britain and unemployed, the new housing minister wants to bar you from council housing. This would be a nice idea if it were a more a matter of going back to the concept of personal responsibility rather than a government demonstrating that its largess is conditional on obedience.

The Party giveth and the Party taketh away-- if you don't toe the line. Just don't act all surprised about it.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
