Oh dear, Mr Brown

Link: BBC NEWS | Politics | Brown targets 'problem families'.

"More than 110,000 "problem families" with disruptive youngsters will be targeted as part of a crackdown on knife crime, Gordon Brown has said.

They will get parenting supervision, with the worst 20,000 families facing eviction if they do not respond"

This, of course, is a joke. Eviction from what? From their council house - when, as families, they will immediately get rehoused? Or from the property they own? In which case, that's a pretty neat extension of government powers...
