The Domestic Terrorist

Councils now put fishermen and school mom’s on the terrorist list! What’s next? Rendition flights & Guantanamo for putting bottles in the wrong bin!!
It has come to a point where civilians going about their day to day business are far more likely to come under surveillance and banged up behind bars using the new anti terror laws than the actual terrorists that the laws were specifically made for.
We saw 82 year old Walter Wolfgang changed under the 2004 terrorist act after shouting ‘Nonsense’ at Jack Straw during the 2005 labour conference! Maya Evans is charged for breaching Section 132 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act for reading the names of the dead at the Central London Cenotaph!
And now Councils are using anti terrorist and surveillance laws to spy on the general public? Instead of the mundane and presumably low threat of staking out a potential bomb factory holed up in a flat above the high street butchers. Poole Council decided to strike out at the heart of terrorism by way of spying and surveillance tactics normally used by MI5. They went for the big fish ‘Jenny Paton & Tim Joyce’ who may have been lying about their school catchment area for their three young daughters?
The council had a surveillance team round hiding in the bushes logging the times the family opened and closed their curtains and when they switched their lights off? The council spies even logged the movements of the family’s car, calling it the target vehicle!
It turns out that Poole Council are not just interested in school mums, they also have their telescopic terrorist catching lens out for ‘Fishermen’? Local shellfish pickers from Poole Harbour.
Under cover council officers wasted eight weeks of council tax payers money on a hiding to nothing. It turns out that Poole Borough council has used the controversial legislation to observe people suspected of various misdemeanours on 17 separate occasions. None of which are related to terrorism no matter how much you try to stretch the imagination.
Pool council are proud of their record and boast of their use of R.I.P.A (Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act) They have hounded vandals, harassed a school mum and goaded fishermen but have yet to catch a terrorist with the terrorist surveillance laws??
Together with the collection of DNA from thousands of kids dropping litter, riding their bikes on the pavements, and one guy being arrested and having the all important DNA sample taken for spraying a garden hose at his neighbour adds up to a system ‘not’ for identifying terrorists but more so installed for keeping tabs on the general public.
As it stands CCTV can without too much trouble record a fight at a football match or a brawl outside a pub on Friday night. But to follow events down a tube station with the shooting of an innocent man or following terrorist suspects, the best that can be expected is a few grainy still shots or the cameras fail to work at all?
All this mixed together we have the sprinkling of Jaqui Smith ranting on about upping the terrorist suspect detention time to 40 days. How long is it till the authorities forget how to distinguish between a terrorist and a litter bug and bang them up for six weeks for throwing their chip paper on the floor?

People have to be completely unconscious not to see where this is going!
