Hello Freedomphiles!  See that poster above?  It's one of many going up around the UK to get people to reports odd behavior to the government.  The UK Metropolitan Police announced:

The five-week campaign asks members of the public to report any suspicious behaviour in confidence to the Anti-Terrorist Hotline on 0800 789 321.

Press advertising will appear in London's major newspapers and on the City's main commercial radio stations.

Camera posterThe press ads seek to raise awareness of some of the items/activities which may be needed by, or be of use to, terrorists. It asks the public to consider whether they have seen any activity connected with them which may have made them suspicious.

Radio advertising has been devised to complement the press ads and features an individual thinking out loud about concerns she has around some suspicious behaviour. She is reassured that she should call the confidential Anti-Terrorist Hotline on 0800 789 321 and that any information will be considered by specialist officers.

Advertising will also run in the Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire and the West Midlands.

Here are some of the posters (PDF):

Well, now good Brittons are remixing these posters in very clever ways.  Here's a satirical look at the one that says, "Thousands of people take photos everyday. What if one of them seems odd?"

Do you ever think that governments are where the most whiny, frightened people work?
