George Monbiot in today's Guardian.
Not only is the personal political, the political is personal. Control does not recognize boundaries. We are increasingly on the receiving end of a war not on terror but on nonconformity. Whether you're a (New Age) traveller, a hoodie wearer rendering all those expensive cctv systems worthless, a raver with a preference for unauthorised or unsupervised parties, or just a horrid spotty morose teenager hanging around by the shops without buying anything, your abnormal behaviour and deviant lifestyle are regarded not as a personal choice but as resistance. Why don't you get a job and learn to enjoy consuming stuff?
