I wonder why it doesn’t apply to children of persons in the armed forces? Seems to me that the lefties would be most concerned about exercising control over them.

Scotland is now a totally cucked nation. How sad.

[BenLurkin]

What happened to the Scots?

The named person, for example a midwife, health worker or school teacher,

Same person for all 18 years, or can the person change: die, or move, or become non-expert for a different stage of the kid and family’s life?

Consider me old-fashioned, but the "named person" responsible for the children should be the two parents.

Such logic must be lost on the Scots, who seem to have fallen in love with the social welfare police state. The fools. They've invited the government's nose under their tent, into their homes, and the entire Beast is going to be pushing behind that nose to get its entire body inside.

"People get the government they deserve," is the aphorism. So with the Scots. Enjoy it, silly Scotland. Enjoy it. Let us know how it all turns out fer ye!

Sauron

Even in Mordor, we don't have *that* kind of police state!

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Just Scotland? Not the rest of the U.K.?

[bgill]

Not only no but hell no!

This can’t be true. Who and why would anyone vote for such?

[ZULU]

They are sick over there and getting sicker by the day.

Ooooh! How exciting! Will they have a lottery to choose who your child's "named person" is? Will it be cronyism?

I can see it now. You and your wife have a baby. Now you go to the "named person" center. There are pictures on the wall of the eligible "persons". One is a transvestite. One is obviously a dyke. Another is clearly a flaming homo. There is one girl who looks okay except for the tattoo of Beelzebub on her neck. Another has rings in his nose, ears, eyebrows and tongue. And yet another looks like a regular girl - red hair, no tattoos and is dressed properly.

Now comes the big event. You reach into a jar and pull out a folded piece of paper that has the picture of "person" to be slated for your precious child. You begin to unfold it but your hand starts to shake. Your vision blurs. "Oh, God. Please let it be the girl who looks normal!" you plea silently for to say it out loud would be looked on as bigotry.

The picture slowly reveals it to be....

Jeez, my heart started to pound just writing that.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

How delightful.

Wonder when they are going to pass a law outlawing the "unspeakable words"?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Can we loan Scotland some of our Obamacare "Navigators"?

[The_Reader_David]

When what do you expect when you elect nationalist socialists? There’s a reason some folks refer to the SNP as the “Scottish Nazi Party”.

[ought-six]

WTF?

[Talisker]

It should be named the De-Parenting Act.

[Jack Hammer]

Also called the Stick Your Oversized Bazoo Where It Doesn’t Belong Act.

Ping!

So every family gets assigned a social worker. Well, most of us know what social workers do here. Their aim is to make everyone a ward of the state, controlled by the state. Destroying families is part of the process.

[Rebelbase]

This is more intrusive than a communist block captain.
