As if last week’s news that the Metropolitan Police’s counter-terrorism resources would be directed at Anarchists for the 2012 Olympics were not enough, the City of Westminster’s “Griffin Weekly” brief is calling on citizens to spy and report on their fellow citizens who happen to be Anarchists.
In light of this news, one might say the Age of Orwell has official begun in England.
Most often, the term "anarchy" describes the simple absence of publicly recognized government or enforced political authority.[1][2] When used in this sense, anarchy may[3] or may not[4] imply political disorder or lawlessness within a society.

Like hell and I will. The Metropolitan Police have a cheek, to call on us citizens to grass up on other citizens when they cover up their own officers.
Not going to happen. The Public as in the ordinary joe are disgusted by the Metropolitan polices actions over the phone/hacking scandals, it will take some time before the public will trust them again, and any other police force within the UK.
If I am classed as a Anarchist for it I do not care.. think they will need a bigger prison in the UK to jail thousands of us who agree with those who are facing the dole over cuts.edit on 1-8-2011 by AnonymousFem because: (no reason given)

Like the article says, this wreaks of Orwellian rule. It seems that with the recent protests against the excessive cuts in the UK, the police feel we should be watching out and snitching on those who actually do something about the injustices were faced with. It's pathetic.
I'm not surprised that they've resorted to this though, and I think this could only be the start of things to come. Admittedly, some activists do go over the top, what with smashing windows and the like, but I feel this is uncalled for.
