Over The Top UK Police State: Global Prototype?

Children aged eight enlisted as council snoopers: telegraph.co.uk

The youngsters are among almost 5,000 residents who in some cases are being offered £500 ($880) rewards if they provide evidence of minor infractions.

One in six councils contacted by the Telegraph said they had signed up teams of "environment volunteers" who are being encouraged to photograph or video neighbours guilty of dog fouling, littering or "bin crimes".

The "covert human intelligence sources", as some local authorities describe them, are also being asked to pass on the names of neighbours they believe to be responsible, or take down their number-plates.

Ealing Council in West London said: "There are hundreds of Junior Streetwatchers, aged 8-10 years old, who are trained to identify and report enviro-crime issues such as graffiti and fly-tipping."

Some are assigned James Bond-style code numbers, which they use instead of their real names when they ring a special informer's hotline.

He said: "We are deeply troubled by these developments – they are straight out of the Stasi copybook. There is a combination of ever-stricter rules and ever more Draconian attempts to control people.

"Councils are using anti-terrorist legislation for the tiniest of things, like the people who put out their bins early, and the threats of fines and prosecutions combine to constitute fleecing the people the councils are meant to be serving."


The Daily Telegraph contacted more than 240 councils across England and Wales to ask if they had recruited environmental volunteers.

Of those, 36 or just under one in six, said they had. They included Luton, with 600 volunteers, the highest of any council; Southwark, south London (400) Birmingham (370) Blaenau Gwent (300) and Congleton in Cheshire (300).

re: 'one in six councils' recruiting 'environmental volunteers'

Are you being photographed or videoed by the neighbor kids, the "Junior Streetwatchers"?

What is happening in the UK is planned for every community across the globe eventually. Read this article and get a glimpse of how the coming 'micromanagement' of the people of this planet is to function down at the community level...when everybody is locked into their little green sustainable communities in the global kingdom of totalitarian '666-dom'. It, the present world system, is already being converted people, today, here, now. The UK is 2-3 steps ahead of the U.S., that's the only difference, and they have become the prototype of the global citizenship model.

That one in six figure is guaranteed to become 100% compliance in time...as soon as the initial outrage blows over the people will come to accept it. Watch and see....
Not in this country some would argue. Guess again, it's already underway. see: Will You Spy For DHS?; and: Terrorism Liaison Officers? (training U.S. public workers to spy)
