These Twits Want Brits To Be Snitches

Can "authorities" reach more asinine depths than this? Probably.

Police Encourage Citizens To Report People Who Drive Nice Cars

"Police in the UK are encouraging citizens to report people who drive nice cars or buy expensive items to the authorities in a new campaign entitled, ‘Too Much Bling? Give Us a Ring’.
“The Gloucestershire force is encouraging members of the public to report people wearing too much ‘bling’ during the recession. They are also urging people to shop anyone who drives flash cars or buys expensive items without the apparent means to afford them during the credit crunch,” reports the Daily Mail.
Posters for the campaign indicate that the targets of the stasi-like crackdown are well-dressed people who own expensive cars, boats and smoke cigars. Apparently, police in the UK think that actually being middle class and able to afford a nice lifestyle is a sign of probable criminal behavior."

Geez-sometimes it just doesn't seem real anymore!! I get so frustrated sometimes trying to just ask-ask only people to look a little deeper into what is going on with all this police state bullshit and the like-I have begged folks to do their own research about Sept 11 twenty-four hours worth to see if they don't come away with the view that there is something horribly wrong with the govts version of events-I guess most people enjoy living clueless or something-only problem is one day we will wake up and even the pretense towards democracy will be gone and fascism will be showing its real ugly face!! best to you and the mrs and all who comment here!!

Britain is lost, just totally lost and we're not far behind. I believe the one biggest mistake people make is that they absolutely will not believe this is all done with design.

Obviously every extremely wealthy citizen with its own security force personel will get a pass. Obviously the right-wing corporate ruling-class royalty is behind this; it's the easiest way for them to destroy the competition in their ranks.

And yes, no doubt the US will adopt this fascist attitude as well. John Brunner predicted something like this in one or two of his novels.
