Do You recognise this face??

This MOD.guv.uk type surveillance officer was one of those whose job was monitoring my movements. Most of the surveillance was around central and North London and on the tube network. So after a while I began taking a few snaps of him every now and then, once even stopping to ask the him the time in Islington!

Whats he up to now?

Mod & chips please (Ahh, the old facial hair disguise...works everytime, nearly)

A day in the life of an active surveillance team.
Say I’m out walking somewhere, anywhere… if I’m under active surveillance there would either be a surveillance officer ahead of me, behind me or both. Then say for example I enter a building. They’ll normally wait for about 25 minutes.
This time period suggests I’m doing something inside the building, possibly meeting someone or something so they send a second officer to stand outside the building, just having a fag or something as a marker.
He reports back the details of the building, organisation, etc to the controller who runs a check deciding on the spot how to proceed.
If they think there’s valuable information to be gathered they send another surveillence officer to investigate inside the building.
I’ve had a few laughs darting into large office complexes in Holborn for no apparent reason and watching them trying to figure it out!
This is what the British taxpayer is doling out £4 billion a year for!

On the day below I sat eating lunch… after a period of time guess who shows up… BTW I went for the haddock and chips!

Hmmm

You decide!

An interesting conversation I had recently got me thinking and I’ve decided to let followers of this blog choose the next MOD to reveal

MI5, SRR, MOD, H.A.C… they’re all the same. I may as well use the term WOG in it’s more recent context. It had been a racial slur widely used by the British in India, East Africa and other colonies to refer to locals who fought on their behalf. W.O.G is British army speak for ‘War Office Governed‘ – the British War Office is near Trafalgar Square, thats where war is planned and where the C.O.B.R.A rooms still convene at times of national emergency.

In this ‘war of terror’ most of the WOG’s following and monitoring U.K citizens are British, so the era of the white W.O.G is upon us, consigning the words use as a racial slur to history.

The struggle for equality has gained from this unexpected by-product of the WOT. Yes, its at the price of the surrender of ALL our civil liberties but thats why the struggle is called the struggle, and as you may have noticed there seem to be more and more of us struggling.
