This is something we see increasing on both sides of the atlantic, where people doing local or national government jobs are expected to report back on
any "suspicious" activity they come across, even to the extent of teachers and paramedics reporting supposedly suspicious behaviour.
Our freedoms and liberties are gradually being eroded to the extent that we are slowly becoming pre-war nazi germany, with the targetting of specific
groups, the silencing of dissenting voices, and ever-increasing state interference in the lives of rdinary people.
In the UK this began in earnest over 10 years ago when "new labour" came to power, and the ever increasing intrusion of the nanny state became
standard, "for our own good"
What is perhaps more worrying, is what we DON'T know about government plans to make us virtual prisoners of the state in our own countries, and this
is something that can only get worse, UNLESS leaders are elected who are prepared to turn back the clock and give us back our freedoms, and stop using
"the war on terror" as an excuse to subjugate their own citizens.
