New Labour's big brother state: Paid to snoop.

Like something out of George Orwell's 1984, or a tale from the former East Germany the utter filth that make up our ruling New Labour government are at it again:
Now they plan to reward the Quislings who whore their principles for the proverbial 30 pieces of silver off of the state.

Members of the public are to be given £500 to spy on their neighbours and tip off officials if the address is being sub-let to illegal tenants.

Ministers are setting up hotlines so that people who suspect that illegal letting is going on can report their suspicions to housing officials.

The first 1,000 people who turn in their neighbours and help housing chiefs repossess an unlawfully occupied house or flat will receive a £500 cash reward.

But the initiative has been attacked by civil liberty campaigners who warn that it is another example of ministers creating 'an army of citizen snoopers'.

Another day another New Labour plan to turn us into tools of the state.
