A small victory: Ban on Anti-Terrorist hotline ad

The Highwayman

A small victory over the agents of fear and disinformation.

Just like Nazi Germany and the Stasi of the GDR we are to spy and inform on our neighbours

1984 was not ment to be a blueprint!!!

In the advert, a man says: "The man at the end of the street doesn't talk to his neighbours much, because he likes to keep himself to himself. He pays with cash because he doesn't have a bank card, and he keeps his curtains closed because his house is on a bus route."

It then says: "If you suspect it, report it."

That's nearly as bad as those TV License adverts.

Jaysus, that's a fairly shocking ad. Though I do love this bit: "The anti-terrorist hotline ad suggests suspicious behaviour may include paying with cash and keeping curtains drawn." So that's students f*cked.

FearMongerin, thats the CT, keep the population terrified of each other and then laud those who report anyne the suspect as 'Different' most people go along with it cos theyre Sheeple, and if you speak out yer a troublemaker

the next sentence out of peoples mouths is usually
'If you've done nothing wrong you've nothing to fear'
BOLLOX

But the story is about it being banned, not enforced. So how is it any part of a CT?

The theme of the story relates to CT research in general.
