“Hitler’s Children”
Give me a break. Comments like that are completely ridiculous. These people aren’t being trained to identify anyone who criticises the ‘glorious leader’ so that they can be bundled away in the middle of the night to be tortured and summararily executed for crimes against the state, they’re being trained to uphold justifiable laws, which are, regardless of any encouragement by the government, the responsibility of every law-abiding citizen IMHO.
If you let your dog crap all over the pavement, or engage in fly tipping, you deserve to get done for it, because you are making your own (or somebody else’s) neighbourhood a more disgusting place to live. I have no sympathy with these people if they are grassed up by other concerned citizens and brought to justice. Maybe a swift kick in the wallet will persuade them that it will be worth the effort to dispose of their waste properly.
Oh and:
“In April, Hull council officials fined a young mother £75 for dropping a piece of sausage roll while trying to feed her four-year-old daughter. Sarah Davies, 20, refused to pay and the matter when to magistrates court where it was dismissed.”
Demonstrates that the claims which ARE OTT or unjustified will be dismissed in a court of law if you are prepared to take the matter to it rather than just sit back and accept the injustice of a caution/small fine, as most people are prepared to do to avoid the hassle....
It is a very slippery slope. denial of the facts is exactly what they’re hoping you’ll do.
This is the same country that has tens of thousands of snoop cameras on London streets, so why not press the children into becoming snitch babies for Mother Earth.
“Give me a break. Comments like that are completely ridiculous.”
Nope, sorry, no break for you. You think kids narking on their parents over silly little girly bullshit laws is fine then I pity you and any community in which the likes of you are considered reasonable. The fact that you can't see a difference between a neighbor spotting some (small) selfishness by someone and reporting it (as opposed to, say confronting the 'evil doer') and a child fingering mom and dad and getting a reward-—the fact that you're blind to the evil implications of this as well-—is absolutely disgusting.
I don't want to start calling you names and analyzing your cognitive and personality disorders in front of your fellow man just on a misunderstanding.
You're absolutely right. "Stalin's Children" would have been much more appropriate.
