I know you are going to try and draw parrallels between this and that scheme encouraging people to report on vandalism etc, so why do you think they’re the same?
In both cases it is the use of the full force of government power over relatively minor problems to the detriment of addressing major issues.
I pinged you because I thought you would be interested in another example of the British government being more concerned with noisy children than terrorism.
My fervent hope is that at some point you begin to think that an all powerful and unquestionable government is not your personal friend.
By-the-way, it isn’t reporting vandalism that I object to so much as providing financial incentive to lie about one’s neighbors.
