Neighbours who keep the curtains closed and a boy who likes to draw guns among ‘suspects’ of terror hotline
By Andrew Chamberlain
1st June 2010
A schoolboy ‘obsessed’ with drawing pictures of bombs and guns, and a neighbour who liked to keep his curtains drawn, are among dozens of people being reported to a police scheme aimed to unearth potential terrorists.
Critics of the Channel Project say it encourages people to spy on their neighbours, but police claim the scheme’s aim is to prevent ‘vulnerable people’ becoming radicalised.
Dozens of people in East Lancashire, mainly aged between 15 and 24, have been reported to police for having either extremist Islamic views, far-right leanings and or being IRA sympathisers.

Look at what the society has come to. People reporting each other for keeping the curtains closed. Why would you not keep the curtains closed. Remember the guy who had them open, walked around in his own house naked, and is now charged for indecent expose?
In a surveillance society you are damned if you do, and damned if you don’t. Thought crimes and every action is suspect. Yet some people seem to like society as it is, and so it continues.
