dailymail.co.uk — Sixty thousand British civilians are being trained by the Home Office to spot terrorists, Gordon Brown has revealed. Huge numbers of staff on rail networks, at shops, public buildings and major sports venues have been picked out by MI5 and the police for the special training- teaching them to watch for 'suspicious behaviour'.

I recently sent a letter to my MP regarding the report on agressive policing during the Kingsnorth Climate Camp protest, voicing my concerns.He replied (very quickly I might add) mentioning how Eon were lobbying the government and police and regularly referred to protesters as 'eco-terrorists'.

I hear their young scout program "Brown Youth" awards merit badges for snitching. The highest honors are when youngsters catch their own parents.

Yes fellow Diggers, let's not forget the fact that this is dailymail. Oh and the obvious question of a 60'000 member group with no leaks until now? Hah. Likely.

Not Oceana really - it took place in Airstrip One (UK), more specifically London, which of course was a part of Oceana (according to the Party).Winston suspected that the perpetual war might be a fabrication and that the Party was bombing London themselves, but of course he could never know.
