Keep your curtains closed? Pay with cash?

According to this government ad on Talksport radio, I'm already a terror suspect.

I don't even live on a bus route!

So if you have a score to settle with your neighbours or you just want to wind up the spooks a little, give the anti-terror hotline a call on 0800 789 321.

Personally, I suspect that the shooting of an innocent electrician wasn't just some outlandish cock-up on the part of the authorities.

I don't have conclusive proof of that.

But then using cash and keeping my curtains closed isn't very substantive either is it?

British Army To Patrol Streets

This article in from the Independent outlines plans to deploy British troops in order to deal with the fabled terrorist bogeyman.

"Anti-Terror" legislation has already been used by local councils to spy on people who over-filled their wheelie bins or sent their kids to selective schools outside their appointed catchment area.

So, I'm wondering who the real threat is this time.

I'm guessing that the real threat to our political class is the general public once the sovereign debt crisis explodes over our heads.
