* Overwhelming lassitude still sums up my day. My partner tries the stop moping around and pull yourself together form of therapy unfortunately it fails to work and a complete lack of interest makes me foolishly say 'yeah, yeah, yeah'. This causes me to be subject to an alternative form of therapy carried out with increased decibels. I decide to lie down on the bed the light thru the window is far too bright so I close the curtains and gaze at the ceiling. This passes most of the day but I am unable to sleep.
The news on the BBC fails to engage my attention even Tony bollocks blair admitting to making a mistake over failing families just about registers. The gist pinched from the BBC is :
He said measures should be added to the ASB laws that would target "failing" families early even before offences had been committed or they had "become a menace". "Instead of years with social services trying and failing to persuade them to change, those families need to be made to change," "It is very tough. It is intrusive but, for some of these families and their children, a nanny state is what they need - for their sake as much as for ours."
Nothing appeared to explain how they identify these families before they commit unspecified offences or just how you go about making them change.
As Blair is about to go its hard to understand what this is about apart from an attack on cameron the tory toff for being about to make the same mistake. However I can hardly give a damn and intend to go and lie down on the frontroom floor.
