10/31/2005: "Joined up government"

Channel five news did a feature on the whole binge drinking/24 hour licence thing earlier, in which they included a clip of Tessa Jowell saying something along the lines of:

"Just because a few individuals might act in an anti-social manner, we should not restrict the freedoms of the majority of citizens"

This from the government which wants ID cards, imprisonment without trial, etc, etc.

On a loosely related note, the BBC have put an unofficial 'Citizenship Test' online. I got 7 out of 14, and without being too arrogant, I suspect the majority of people born and brought up in Britain would not do any better. Does this mean we are not worthy to live in this country? Are we a threat to the nation? You tell me.
