Creating the super-nanny state
Whenever there is some incident of juvenile delinquency or youth crime you will hear the same refrain: "Well, I blame the parents."
And the evidence is that the parents are indeed likely to have played a significant part in the anti-social behaviour of their offspring.

Tweet views on my @BBCNews piece on monarchy accuse me of anti monarchism and royalist toadyism. Probably about right then.

Striking while the iron is cool
Allow me to begin with what will be dismissed by many as a ludicrous proposition: there are some in the government who are privately disappointed that today's protests are not much bigger.
Yes, of course I know that the last thing ministers say they want is disruption and strikes that cause widespread inconvenience and make the job of deficit reduction even harder.
