Paranoid population

P

Has anyone heard those new ads on the radio? “How can you tell the difference between someone just hanging about and a terrorist casing a place?” (Ok, so I am paraphrasing a little here but that is the gist of it!)

I don’t like it. Is creating a paranoid population really the best use of taxpayers money? What next, KGB-style citizen informers?

I think this is one of my most measured and restrained rants ever.
