Child protection: safeguarding without safeguards
Taking tough action that purports to protect children has long been thought a political trump card, something no would-be statesman can afford to oppose, whether the action in question is effective or not. It is thus both remarkable and welcome that, after days of bad publicity, the children's secretary Ed Balls yesterday agreed to review the details of the government's clunking fist of a scheme to vet those who volunteer or work with children.
Note: Ed Balls is an asshole.
