Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch, and beating up 7 year olds is about to become fashionable again;
City Councils across Britain are calling upon its citizens to become “citizen snoopers”–people who will report on loud neighbours, litterbugs, and even people who take their garbage out on the wrong day. Children as young as seven are being recruited, and so far over 9000 Britainers have signed up.
I like the idea of a list. When Britain finally unravels, they’ll be able to line them up in alphabetical order.
From Nineteeneightyfour:
A handsome, tough-looking boy of nine had popped up from behind the table and was menacing him with a toy automatic pistol, while his small sister, about two years younger, made the same gesture with a fragment of wood. Both of them were dressed in the blue shorts, grey shirts, and red neckerchiefs which were the uniform of the Spies. Winston raised his hands above his head, but with an uneasy feeling, so vicious was the boy’s demeanour, that it was not altogether a game.
‘You’re a traitor!’ yelled the boy. ‘You’re a thought-criminal! You’re a Eurasian spy! I’ll shoot you, I’ll vaporize you, I’ll send you to the salt mines!’
Suddenly they were both leaping round him, shouting ‘Traitor!’ and ‘Thought-criminal!’
Shades of Hitler Youth!
“When Britain finally begins to unravel” . . . . or . . . “When Britain finally unravels”
I’d suggest the unraveling began the day Tony Blair got elected and has accelerated ever since.
“When Britain finally unravels”
This is something of a “déjà vu” for those that went schools where the communists ruled.
Is it not strange that people at times desire tyrants to rule them? The Greeks sometimes voted in tyrants to get rid of the oligarchs.
While the idea of keeping things clean, safe and such, is ok, the way these busy bodies about is of course completely wrong.
In the former Soviet Union, there were these exact councils though the name was “soviets”, hence Soviet Union.
They should be teaching children in school about these things. Instead they will not tell them that they do wrong, when they do wrong, lest they loose their self-esteem.
It seems that the children will not be taught right from wrong, that way when they grow up, the tyrants, that they will see the need for, will set the straight.
I remember in the final days of East Germany… and later on reading how the folks in the Stasi worked through the nights trying to destroy the evidence of their surveillance. Pitting neighbor against neighbor, never turns out well. Can’t imagine how the environmental types will want this used to report on neighbors watering their lawns on the wrong day or throwing out soiled newspapers instead of recycling, to whatever standard they’ve set.
Has “The Lives of Others” been banned in England yet? you wouldn’t want too many people knowing the ending…
Probably another reason this is happening:
“In 2007, 207,000 British citizens – one every three minutes – left the country and currency specialist Foreign Currency Direct has revealed that one in four working Brits are now looking to leave the country for sunnier climes and better job opportunities.”

So noted, Fred.
Quislings are needed to maintain the authoritarian socialist state.
Quislings:
Snitches or informers, named after Vidkun Quisling a Norwegian politician who collaborated with the Nazi occupation against free Norway. He was made a puppet leader by Berlin and maintained his puppet government by developing a national system of informants who would report dissenters to Nazi authorities for liquidation.
Part of the program involved indoctrinating Norwegian school children in fanatical nationalism – to obey authoritarian state dictum and tattle on adults who displayed outlawed political attitudes and actions. There were many cases where these “Quisling children” turned in their own parents to the Nazis.
The British authoritarian socialist state now has its own Quisling kids. Deeply sad to watch the cradle of civil liberty die such a malignant death.

Begins to unravel? Kate, this is what unravelling looks like.
… when the unravelling is complete?
Having recently re-read the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich — something they should have students reading in school, but I guess the Outsiders has more important things to teach them about class warfare — Hitler Youth indeed.
I’m not sure anything surprises me anymore, I have a hard time believing that the Brits would just sit back and take it. I wonder how many know about it.
This is another huge reason I won’t send my kids to public school, lest they be turned into weapons against me, not to mention all the non-school things they teach nowadays.
O Kate you really must keep up on Euro politics!
English for the European Union
The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English
will be the official language of the European Union rather than German,
which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that
English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-
year phase-in plan that would become known as “Euro-English”.
In the first year, “s” will replace the soft “c”. Sertainly, this will
make the sivil servants jump with joy.
The hard “c” will be dropped in favour of “k”. This should klear up
konfusion, and keyboardskanhave one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the
troublesome “ph” will be replaced with “f”. This will make words like
fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spellingkanbe expekted
to reach the stage where! more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have
always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent “e” in the languag
is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing “th”
with “z” and “w” with “v”.
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary “o” kan be dropd from vords kontaining
“ou” and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu
understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze
forst plas.

Having recently re-read the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich…
Hitler didn’t want a war with England.
Not so much because he was afraid of England but because he thought the English were such excellent examples of Saxons. Many of the English upper class admired Hitler and hoped Germany would win.
I’m not sure anything surprises me anymore, I have a hard time believing that the Brits would just sit back and take it. I wonder how many know about it.
Isn’t it the wrap up of the European football season?
Bread and circuses citizen, bread and circuses.
They could do the same thing here and none would be the wiser.

Quisling’s children for sure.
This is a page right out of Obama’s new civilian force that he intends to put together probably starting with the Acorn loons and recruiting every angry Negro and other minority in American to wear the uniform.
Remember he said that he wanted a civilian force as big and well funded as the military.
Watch for it in the USA very soon.
Fortunately in the USA they don’t beat up seven year old snitches because in American everyone is armed. They may just shoot them.
This aught to be interesting… in today’s society where you can be stopped and arrested for taking pictures on the street by some eager beaver cop or rent-a-cop who haven’t considered the fact that the photographed building/bridge/structure has been photographed millions of times, and yet virtually every public venue is under closed circuit observation.
“Hands off, guvn’r. I’m on official crown business you see. MI6 no less. Coronation Street Citizens On Patrol.”
All I can say ‘Kate’ is thanks for the ‘electronic medium information age’.
You stole my thunder Birdy. That little tid-bit you mentioned is one of many promises that BO made during the election that should have made Americans go “Hmmmmmmm”. I’d also like to remind SDA readers about the articles regarding the “thought police” at Universities here in N.America.
Willie D from the Geto Boys had a great song in the 90’s called ‘”I’m going out like a soldier”. I believe most men(not metros) have this desire deep down inside; but, because were “civilized” and have responsibilities to our families, this desire is repressed in most men. I do suspect that most of us fantasize about it. This is why many “guy flicks” like Braveheart end in a final charge to the death with happy music and comradery(sp?). My wife and I often laugh at the differences between a happy ending in a “guy flick” vs a “chick flick”.
It appears there will be enough opportunities to live-out this fantasy for all of us. JMO

Hello Birdy
This is precisely why the leftards want “gun control”….an armed citizenry is anethema to their grand plan……
An armed citizen is a citizen, whereas disarmed, he becomes a subject……….

Remember when Great Britain used to own two-thirds of the world and faced the Luftwaffe by itself? Perhaps someone recalls when Saint Thomas More blew the whistle on a corrupt crown? I’m sure reading is passe otherwise people would be invoking “1984” all over the place.

Here’s another happy ending story to the reign of the Stasi secret police in East Germany.
In the dieing (SP?) days of that evil regime, the Stasi set about shredding mountains of secret files. Fortunately for history’s sake, the shredders, being products of communist production, couldn’t take the strain and so broke down early into their mandate. Stasi police were left to tear by hand the tales of their sordid past including the names of the citizenry who enabled them. And in true communist groupthink, they placed shreds into bags with shreds from the same pile.
After the fall, that fact enabled western document experts to begin piecing together the torn papers. Soon after, a German software company expedited the process by creating an application that could scan every piece and then match edges up electronically.
Names of conspirators were soon available although I’m not sure to what extent they’ve been made public for fear of citizens exacting revenge.
I wonder what “fly-tipping” is. I bet it’s not as bad as burglary, mugging and crack-dealing. Find anyone who’s lived in the U.K. recently and ask them whether the important laws are even enforced.
re. Stephen @ 11:39 – I’m not particularly fond of Jan Wong (but then neither is Warren Kinsella, so maybe she’s not all bad), but the person she turned in was a girl student who asked for her help in escaping to the West, not her own parents.
Wait, when did beating up 7 year olds become unfashionable? I’m so out of the loop on these things.
yep. how do you spell nazi. for everyone out there that thinks there will be a peaceful outcome to the crap that is happening, wear your foil hat.
Names of conspirators were soon available although I’m not sure to what extent they’ve been made public for fear of citizens exacting revenge.
~PhilM
It’s not about citizen revenge.
If they made the names public those grasses wouldn’t be of much use to their new masters, then, would they?
england has been unraveling since the first labour government post second world war. they had a break with thather but that went in the shitter real quick.
oz. people who read don’t necessarily quote anyone.
old white guy, why did you tell me that?
KevinB invokes “nineteeneightyfour” in the first comment @ 10:24 AM and Osumashi Kinyobe at May 20, 2009 2:24 PM complains “I’m sure reading is passe otherwise people would be invoking “1984” all over the place.
I think invoking 1984 once is enough, invoking it “all over the place” is banal, and invoking it and saying that “reading must be passé if it isn’t invoked” is ironic when it was invoked in the first comment, which Osumashi Kinyobe didn’t read.
Yeah, I’ve read nineteeneightyfour and I have an original hardcover first edition signed copy of Animal Farm.
I also own and have read Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago where Solzenitzen states if we just, as individuals, resist and refuse to go along with the Bolsheviks their power falls apart.
“I’m sure reading is passe otherwise people would be invoking “1984” all over the place”
Could be Osumashi Kinyobe is referring to the wider world, outside this comment thread.
Wasn`t something like this included in the plot of a movie recently… Hot Fuzz perhaps
Could be, Black Mamba.
Even when 1984 was widely read, in the world, it wasn’t read by socialists or the type of person who would cast a vote for Obama just because he was Black.
How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
~Ronald Reagan
Communists/Socialists don’t read books like 1984, except maybe as p0rn.
I hate to be pedantic or anything but shouldn’t it be Gordon Brown’s Britain now? Just sayin…
onetired, if you can find anything different, other than the names, then as Prince Phillip like to pose, “we’re all ears”.
“snitches get stitches”

Since Fred2 is rapping I can’t resist. Here’s a bit from “I Will Never Tell”-Cassidy
http://www.lyricsreg.com/lyrics/cassidy/I+Will+Never+Tell+Uh+Uh/
“If u rat I ain’t f*ckin with u
I wouldn’t even tell
If I seen bin laden buying a f*ckin missle”
That’s some crazy isht! Here’s more…
“I said u cats rat
Like the mask on ninja turtles
I was being nice
Cause u mice bout as big as gerbels
Lil hamster guiena pig type niggas
Who be givin information to the pigs
With the quickness
Them kids snitches they’ll try to ride against u
Then sign a sepina and testify against u
Go to jail never that
Take a deal never that
Squeal never that
That’s that
I will never rat”
Black Mamba “fly tipping” is dumping household rubbish or more commonly now commercial waste by the side of the road. The reason it has become so much more common in the past couple of years is thanks to “our friends” the EU. They have brought in a new directive (which Britain has to obey) on landfill. So the local authority has to reduce the amount of waste going into landfill. Allied to this the government introduced a land fill tax and surprise, surprise people started dumpng their garbage by the side of the road. More commonly it is commercial waste from builders who would otherwise have to pay at a commercial site to dispose of waste.
The problem here is thanks to the slimy toerag Blair Britain now has a raft of new legislation something like 3000 new laws were introduced by these scabs. One of them is the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act known as RIPA. This was brought in to put controls over the police and organisations like MI5 to limit their powers of surveillance. The result was the police carried out less covert surveillance but local authorities and organisations like the benefits agency assumed they had carte blanche to spy on anyone. Quite probably the majority of them are breaking the law and I suspect shortly we will see the heads of local councils appearing in court charged with breaches of RIPA for which there are severe penalties.
In the meantime a sea change has happened in British politics. The socialists are totally discredited and are likely to face the humiliation of third place. They may even be beaten by parties like the UK Independance Party and the BNP at the forthcoming local and euro elections on June 4th. Big changes are coming in Britain. The people are seething with anger and lots of oinkers are going to lose their cushy jobs at the general election. This has to happen next year at the latest but I predict it will happen long before then. The socialists are going to be wiped out.
“Fly tipping”. I like it.
Where I live we are reduced to 2 bags of garbage/wk. That’s ok in the winter, but in the summer I have to mow the lawn and, of course, a least once a year it’ll cost $50-$100 to clean out the whole nest of used up stuff that has been stored all year on my property for a single toss.
I’ve noticed a lot more rubbish in the ditches, now I know the term for it. Thank you.
Yes, I did read the first comment but I was alluding to other people saying this. Such as: “why isn’t everyone invoking Eric Blair?”
I apologise for the confusion.
I find it so freakin incredible that Orwell predicted this ages ago in 1984. Orwell was describing a twisted extrapolation of British society, and the beginnings of Orwells society are starting to become more and more visible.
LT, where are you from ? First time I read there are big changes coming in the UK. Any media links ?
James,
Yes, it’s incredible that Orwell predicted this back in 1948, but I disagree that it’s just “the beginnings” that “are starting to become more visible”. The beginning started years ago; now they are applying the finishing touches. Britain has something like 30,000 closed circuit surveillance cameras deployed. In the US, warrantless wiretaps and email intercepts were SOP under GWB, and I suspect not much diminished under Prez Bambam.
This is why, at the risk of being labelled a member of the “tin foil hat” club, I have railed against the creeping fascism in the West. Irritants like the gun registry and the wheat board have been discussed at length here, but when David Miller institutes a “garbage police” to inspect your trash to see that it meets his standards – well, to me, it’s this quiet nibbling away of private decisions that is the real danger.
zat var ecksalen, Hans.
LT, thanks. I went to school in the U.K. but left just around the time Mr. Toerag was elected. I was aware of a sort of National malaise – remember that freakish Princess Di hysteria? – but things seem to have skidded downhill since then. I’m sure the Torys will win the next election, but, while I hope I’m wrong, I just don’t believe it will make any difference. I’d be interested to know what you predict. I think a lot of voters are going to be driven towards the BNP (which is a very nasty party), but at this stage I don’t see that it matters much; I think democracy has been disabled in most of Europe.
Oz I suggest that you build a compost box and compost all those grass clippings and old plants. You will then have the same amount of garbage year round. I just dug out my compost box, 3 ft by 3 ft by 2 ft. A lot of good soil. All our vegetable peelings, tea bags, coffee grounds and eggshells go in that compost box. We are just 2 people but a friend who lives in a condo brings her compost over quite often.
