We are all policemen

The Register flags up the creeping extension ofthe controlling police state. A letter handed out to employees of Arriva/Cross Country staff this morning,
Whilst our Services are very unlikely to be directly affected by the event, (G20)it is possible that they will be used by passengers intending to to make their way to demonstrate in London.
Therefore British Transport Police are asking staff to report any sightings that meet the following general description of activities.
Groups of travellers wearing noticeable themed clothing, for example same large logo or coloured shirts etc
Any noticeable groups who are believed to be traveling [sic] to London
Any groups carrying banners or posters
Any group bookings to London that day/s

What business is it of train ticket collectors to report upon citizens/subjects going about their lawful lives?

Gawain, this is Jonathan - we know each other from the European Parliament and once shared a ride back from Strasbourg (along with Mike's hideous taste in music).
