Dateline: 8th November 1998

Released today is a copy of a document issued by Gwent police calling on all their employees to act as spies on farmers. The appeal is for any information on farmers meetings or ‘congregations’, ‘demonstrations’, ‘any conversations overheard’, ‘suspected movement of a number of farm vehicles’ and any information ‘from unusual sources i.e. Internet. CB radio’.

The document significantly admits that ‘many staff will never have submitted intelligence reports before’. “This confirms that these spying activities are exceptional and totally unacceptable in a democratic society” said Rodney Atkinson “but thanks to the rule in Britain of the European Union through the Common Agriculture Policy, such state authoritarian activities are now becoming commonplace as the British principles of openness, democracy and the rule of law are trampled under foot.”

The Common Agricultural Policy - based like nearly all the structures and ideas of the European Union on German 1941 plans for Europe - dictates prices from the centre, controls British exports, distributes subsidies, feeds corruption, has lead to the suicide of corrupt EU officials and is destroying British farmers. All collectivist and state control of prices and production leads to conflict, revolt and then state suppression.” said Rodney Atkinson. “The European Union’s rule over British agriculture is just the start of growing conflict because British farmers, fishermen and businessmen cannot turn to their elected representatives in Westminster with their grievances since they have no power to implement remedies. Power has gone to Brussels.”

Recent examples of embryo police state activities in Britain - all related to the ‘European project’ are:

• The arrest and imprisonment overnight of a freelance reporter, Campbell Thomas trying to report the secretive Bilderberg conference in Turnberry, Scotland. (The Bilderberg Group - founded by a former Nazi and an avowed enemy of national democracies - was the main force behind the establishment of the European Union).
• The European Extradition Treaties which enforced the arrest in Britain of British subjects Roisin McAliskey (on a German warrant) and Brenda Price (on a Spanish warrant) without the need for any prima face evidence of a crime - in other words the end of Habeas Corpus.
