But as I have a spare few minutes before I conform to the educational systems demands, I feel a need to vent my frustration at the new 'Anti-terrorism adverts' that have been thrown all over the UK.
-This is an older one, but the message is still the same. Silly Liberals creating unnecessary panic to people who will actually believe that a terrorist lives next door to them.
The newer adverts talk about home-made bombs etc. and how "A bin full of rubbish wont make a bomb because a neighbour reported it.
In the kind of society we live in, it is inevitable that someone will report something suspicious. I guarantee that some über liberal neighbour will report the fact that Gary at number 42 has been in his house for four days which 'is suspicious'. Or that a quarraling neighbour will use this as a means to get back at the other one for a minor offence.
Or Council Estate Scum!!!
Now instead of scaring the dim-wits into thinking everyone is a terrorist, those in charge should really pull their fingers out of each others arses and think of better methods to counter terrorism.
I don't have any solutions, but a dodo could think of more effective ways of dealing with terrorists.

ReplyDeleteHaha then you are dumber than a dodo, by your own admission :P
But yes in all seriousness it gives an enormous power to people who can't be trusted with it. How many Muslim neighbours will get a Copper at their door because Mrs Miggins down the road saw them acting "a bit shifty"?
Fail. What are you talking about!? I consider myself a liberal... a very, very strong liberal... and this kind of media scaremongering is the polar OPPOSITE of the liberal mindframe. Labelling people "terrorists" is very much a conservative divisive notion.
ReplyDeleteHere's a challenge for you, try making this your next blog post: what exactly IS a liberal? How do you define one? And, while your at it, what exactly IS a conservative? Again, how would you define one?
"...if by a liberal they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people - their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, their civil liberties..if that is what they mean by a "liberal" then I am proud to be a liberal." - John F Kennedy
Not to bang on about this, but try this link.
