So I was bemoaning the inefficency of the East German state the other day, claiming that having 20% of the population work spying on the rest of them, and each other was a hidious waste or resources.

"This seems to be separate and in addition to a new drive by Councils to encourage children to snoop on their neighbours for money: children as young as eight are being offered incentives of up to £500 to denounce miscreants who fail to obey Council diktats on waste collection."

1)We need somewhere in bury that has <£500 fine for fly tipping, and a circle of trechery. Then we all fly tip, all denounce each other, pay the finess, collect the rewards for denoucneing each other.

3)Profit!

LHC disproves universal law

Already. No one's actully done any science with it yet, but the BBC's HYS section has an entire front page which entirly lacks right wing scaremongering.
It's like looking into the abyss and seeing a friendly gnome.
