The Government which presides over the people of Great Britain has for years been increasing its grip on the populace. Traffic Wardens now are being issued with PACE cards so they can read people their rights and arrest them as do the Police. Now this extension of the Police State has been rolled out to include Council staff, car park attendants, private security guards, dog wardens, amongst others. At present the official number of organisations involved stands at 95, with around 4,500 people acting as the neo-cons neo-Stasi bootboys. Their Police powers are limited to handing out fixed penalties for minor offences - limited for now.
This Soviet style policing was used in the USSR and Eastern Bloc where everyone was a potential agent of the State, and fear was used to control the people. At least in those nations the people knew they were being controlled. Sadly, in Britain the majority of Sun reading football watching plebeians think that because they have the vote, they are free!
George Orwell was an optimist!
