'PROBLEM families' won't be exactly quaking in their shoes at what Gordon Brown is planning to do to them. As a social housing worker for 37 years, I dealt with families of this sort, who relished the suffering they could inflict on their neighbours. It gave them a sense of identity, acting big and controlling the neighbourhood.

If we deem them to have made themselves intentionally homeless and don't pick them up, it turns out we have breached their human rights by not rehousing them. Where can we rehouse them? What community wants such tenants? To take them to court, you have to make your accusations stick. If they don't stick and the case falls apart, the problem family will inflict even more pain and suffering on those who tried to get something done about them. And they will now feel fireproof.

Gordon Brown is running scared of this issue because it has been swept under the carpet for years.
