Another reason to oppose ID cards

See also social workers, community coppers, bailiffs, salespeople ( remeber Bill Hicks ), debt collectors, traffic wardens, security guards, housing officers, anyone on Camden or Haringey Council ( if not thick then suspect )and also a very large proportion of this country's teachers....
Call them professionals. Call them key workers. Just don't call them round to dinner:-)
Wake up liberal motherfuckers. the ceremony is over.
I was only following orders. It's a job innit.
False accusations could be harassment

I suggest you contact your local police force and say you have been the subject of harassment!?? Well, maybe not!
The local paper might be interested though if you approached them in the right way - don't go saying how the council wardens are a bunch of fascist spies, say you have had your privacy invaded and been slandered and feel under great stress at being harassed by the council.

Why so much suspicion in the air?
29.11.2004 03:00
Back to original article, it is likely that your own neighbour is spying on you or planning to accuse you of committing benefit fraud... I was quite shocked when reading, on the DWP site, under "benefit fraud" or something to that effect, that anyone could accuse anyone of benefit fraud without even having to give the accuser's name. Now this facility is available online, which makes things even worse. This has built on fear, hatred, mistrust, something that you can breathe on the air... But newly built neighbourhood- social forums should counteract this climate of suspicion amongst neighbours -- council neighbours in particular. Have you checked the idea of TIME BANKS? These were created in Great Britain a few years ago but i don't know if there is one in Sheffield yet.

Go on the offensive
29.11.2004 10:29
I'd write a very critical and angry letter as a first step then maybe insist on speaking to someone high up - perhaps the Manger of the wardens. Generally if you go on the offensive in these situations they'll get tired of you and won't want the hassle again in the future so leave you alone.
Don't know who these wardens are. Perhaps some relation the another new group calling themselves the Ambassadors. These people who dress in officious fluro have been spotted roaming around the city centre in the last year. The Ambassadors are supposedly there to help students though they won't shy from interfering in other people's business, such as stalls etc. if they see you. As far as I know they don't have the power of arrest so the best thing is to politely tell them to f*ck off.
