Tried to search this subject, but it came up blank, so apologies if this is a repost

I was in the car for around 5 hours today. Talksport on the Radio. This advert was repeated a number of times during the day:

This has got me thinking...

So if I have a neighbour that is a loner, who pays for stuff in cash and keeps his curtains closed, does that make him a terrorist and are the UK Gov't seriously expecting me to pick the phone up?

Knowing the amount of thick tts out there, the line should be swamped with calls..

I recognise that there's a serious underlying message here, but is this another example of us living in a police state?

For example: If I'm a single male, living alone, work nights and don't use credit cards, can I expect the BiBs to bash my door in, tap my calls, or follow me around?

Are we just creating a new bargaining chip for the Gov't to employ (even) more civil servants to monitor all these calls (your tax money)?

Isn't this all a little bit extreme?
