Yesterday on the program I presented a news story on the Climate Corps, a creation of the Oppressives, that would establish a “volunteer” corps at the U of O to help “inform” people how to live a more sustainable life.
They’re now known as The Greenshirts to listeners of the Victoria Taft Show.
Where did the Oppressives get the idea for this? Now we know. An alert 5th Listener sent in this story from the UK (here) on their “environment volunteers.”


Children as young as seven are being recruited by councils to act as ‘citizen snoopers’, the Daily Mail can reveal.

The ‘environment volunteers’ will report on litter louts, noisy neighbours – and even families putting their rubbish out on the wrong day.

A spokesman for the Local Government Association said: ‘Environment volunteers are people who care passionately about their local area and want to protect it from vandals, graffitists and fly-tippers.

‘These community-spirited residents are not snoopers.

‘They help councils cut crime and make places cleaner, greener and safer.’
