The British ID card is a trick to get you on the National Identity Register; it is not a “useful tool”!

The government are rolling out ID cards in London. Whoopee. Here is the government spin: “The national identity card will prove an extremely useful tool for young people in London, whether they are opening a bank account, buying age-restricted goods such as computer games or DVDs, entering a nightclub or travelling to Europe.”

Who does Meg Hillier think she is kidding, and why is she going along with this nonsense? The ID card is not being introduced to help people at all. The purpose of the ID card is to trick you to signing into the National Identity Register, a sinister database that will in future, according to the grand plan, be accessible by every plonker bureaucrat in the land. You’ll have your fingerprints taken, eyes scanned, and other critical information about you listed on one electronic file. Congratulations, you’ve just been tagged for life, and updating the information will become your responsibility on pain of a large fine! Still want an ID card? Think again my friends. This ridiculous scheme is doomed to failure. The headlines one morning in the papers will be: “Everyone’s personal information lost”, only it won’t have been an accident...

Stay off the National Identity Register AT ALL COSTS. Protest the ID card scheme, and join NO2ID today. This is a crucial time, and we must not let young people be conned into getting one of these insidious cards. We must fight to keep Britain free. The stakes are that high.

glad to see someone agreeing with the Liberal Democrats in opposing I.D. Cards.

You're not a Liberal Democrat by any chance Anonymous? the Conservatives also oppose I.D. Cards, and the Greens, and UKIP, and even many Labour supporters. The ID scheme is Labour's poll tax--a disasterous policy symbolizing all that has gone wrong with the governing party.

The LIB/LAB/CON may appear to object in Kent, then why have they been bio-metrically fingerprinting very young children in school in-order to take out a library book without parental consent or knowledge ?

Not all LAB object in Kent--Stephen Ladyman still seems to be in favour of the ID scheme. But you ask a good question. I've said elsewhere that you should NOT allow your children to be fingerprinted for ANY reason. It's a serious invasion of prvacy. If someone fingerprinted my child without my consent I'd take them to court. If being fingerprinted is a condition of using a library then that is clearly wrong. Libraries are financed with our taxes, so don't put up with it. Fight back.
