Social services 'set up CCTV camera in couple's bedroom' Social workers set up a CCTV camera in the bedroom of a couple with learning difficulties in order to monitor their behaviour, a new report claims. By Martin Beckford, Social Affairs Correspondent

If there were any justice in this world, a mob would drag the people responsible for this from their offices into the street, whip them bloody, pour hot tar and feathers over them, tie them to a rail like a pig going to market, parade them through town for a good pelting with rotten vegetables and dead cats, take them to a sewage pond outside town, whip them again, throw them in the sh!t, and warn them that they would be shot dead on sight if they ever set foot in the city again.
So you would go easy on them?
