Constitutional Cross-Dressing

Beneficiaries of the Government's overspend on civil servants have been spying on campaigners against the Heathrow metastasis, much to the silence of civil liberties champions of the David Davis school. The Department for Carriage, Pumpage and Scrappage has a unit with the Stalinesque name of "comms directorate" whose brief is "to continually monitor protest groups and brief staff/police accordingly". A spokesbeing said that "the information gathered was readily available in the public domain and simply used to alert staff and the police to any disruption that was anticipated" at protests, or as the Department schoolmarmishly calls them, "public exhibitions". Evidently the gathering of readily available information is a task far beyond the capabilities of the police themselves.
