Now it's the Citizen Snoopers: Councils Recruit Unpaid Volunteers to Spy on Their Neighbours

Councils are recruiting 'citizen snoopers' to report litter louts, dog foulers and even people who fail to sort out their rubbish properly.
The 'environment volunteers' will also be responsible for encouraging neighbours to cut down on waste.
The move comes as local authorities dish out £100 fines to householders who leave out too much rubbish or fail to follow recycling rules.
It will fuel fears that Britain is lurching towards a Big Brother society, following the revelation this week that the Home Office is extending some police powers to council staff and private security guards.
Critics said the latest scheme could easily be abused and encourage a culture of bin spies and curtain twitchers.
Matthew Elliott, of the Taxpayers' Alliance, said: 'Snooping on your neighbours to report recycling infringements sounds like something straight out of the East German Stasi's copybook.
'With council tax so high, the last thing people want to pay for is an army of busybodies peering through their net curtains at their neighbours as they put out their rubbish.'
Recruitment adverts appealing for the unpaid environmental volunteers have appeared across the country in recent months.
In Hampshire, Eastleigh council wants locals to 'monitor local environmental quality' and report 'issues' involving recycling and waste. In East London, Tower Hamlets is recruiting volunteers for a crackdown on reluctant recyclers. Other councils are expected to launch similar schemes.

If you have never read 1984 by George Orwell either read the book or watch the film.
One of the key necessaties of a Police State or orwellian society is for the Public to police itself; snoopers, tell tales are a pre requisite of this and this networks tentacles spread far and wide to encompass all levels of society and government. It's necessary to maintain the control needed for a police state to function. You only have to go back in time to the Stasi and se that all this is true and is happening here and now in the UK.

And all this is being put out on the back of making our localities safer and greener with a huge environmental label.
Central government, spin off NGO's, Think Tanks, Local authorities, Local Action committees are all involved and I have very great suspicions that the likes of 'Common Purpose' are actively involved in these situations.

Believe me people it is happening right here , right now!
