No, I couldn’t do it. Not because of any concern about civil liberties though. If i had kids I would pine for the good ol’ Victorian days of yore where the cheeky little ragamuffins were treated with abject contempt and put to work as chimney sweeps or at the very least begging street urchins.
My reasons are – and i’m quite angry with you for putting this idea out there for public discussion – that we wouldn’t stop at kids. I can imagine if I was ever to get married the unfortunate Mrs Trawler would ensure that i’m micro-chipped and prevent my having too many nights out with the boys. Imagine trying to tell your better half you’re stuck in traffic and on your way home when the pesky GPS system pinpoints your sorry body as sitting in the snug at the Red Lion Inn.
yeh sorry about that mate I never thought about that :oops:
