In the year to March 2017, the anti-terrorist hotline received more than twice the number of calls in the previous 12 months, with 22,000 people making contact.Anti-Terrorist Hotline: 0800 789 321 gov.uk/ACTDo you have any thoughts about this? The government advert is only 30 seconds and is intended for the public: https://youtu.be/kUZ8vrw_dxo Edited March 6, 2017 by When Is Jesus Coming?

Right after 9-11- a caller ID number rang her up that belonged to U.S Gov. It was a guy from the newly formed homeland security office. Reaching out to small business contractors asking them to report any suspect activity at customer addresses. Toll free number! Billboards advertising this coming to your area soon. Look for them! She said it was like an advertising call reaching back to McCarthyism. History repeating itself maybe. Aren't phone lines in America policed already by the federal government?

I should have mentioned this is a British initiative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I agree and think if it comes to America they will be even more aggressive considering the history of US foreign policy in the middle east. Edited March 6, 2017 by When Is Jesus Coming?

Likely. There are people living in America that defend aggressors from the ME due to that. And those people claim to be citizens here. It's that, you got it coming! Mentality that's really warped.

It's a twisted and very fallen world. Adam's family has become very dysfunctional. The Adams family you could say It's only going to get worse until Jesus returns.

I fail to see what the issue is when someone is asked to help stop terrorism before it strikes. If we notice something that look suspicious, are we supposed to just ignore it and say nothing? I can see how paranoia can result in overuse of the reports, but if 1 terrorist act is stopped, isn't that worth a phone call? Look at it from the other side, if we see something and say nothing, and a terrorist act is committed, destroying buildings and taking lives, what is the price of silence in this case? Silence can be golden in some cases, but deadly in others. Wisdom should be the dividing factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should just turn a blind eye to it. Now with terrorism on the rise I think it is that much more important to keep an eye out for it. I don't think we have to be paranoid about it but still be aware of our surroundings and what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go further and say that if people don't come forward and report people they suspect then they are accountable too under British and International law.
