A step too far

I CONCEDE that my language occassionally makes me sound like a bit of a conspiracy theorist. I hate government intervention. In fact, I hate the government.

However, I test anyone to justify this move by Westminister?

"Unclaimed money from abandoned bank accounts will fund government plans for a "youth centre in every town".

The scheme is part of the government's 10-year strategy for young people which is due to be unveiled by Children's Minister Beverley Hughes.

Ministers hope that providing more facilities for young people will stop them from getting into trouble.

It comes as a report warns that teenagers in Britain are more anti-social than elsewhere in Europe."

Seriously - if the government has the right to seize a dormant bank account (just because they feel like it), what do they have the right not to do?

Road to serfdom my friends.
