Cameron's "National Citizens"

[fiat_knox]

Cameron plans on a "National Citizen" service scheme for kids. In an interview on the Beeb site, he gets all fuzzy and civic -minded about his scheme to give "shape" to the lives of kids, and to "save" them.

You know, all I can see is that "National Citizen" is too big and cumbersome. I can see them shortening the term, perhaps taking the first syllables of the names and pounding them together like modelling clay.

Let's play that old Sesame Street game, shall we?

"Nat"          "Ci"

"Nat"        "Ci"

"Nat"      "Ci"

"Nat"    "Ci"

"Nat"  "Ci"

"Natci."

Natcis.

Cameron wants to give kids' lives shape by turning them into Natcis.

Makes as much sense as anything that burbling glove puppet wants.
