Video: No2ID, stop the UK database state now

February 19th, 2009 5 Comments

After rejecting the plans five times, the House of Lords finally dropped its resistance to fingerprint and take mugshots of everyone on the island.

Compulsory ID cards?

Of course not! You will not be required to use an ID card unless you wish to work, use the banking or health system, travel or receive benefits.

Will your data be secure on their hands?

Government items to have disappeared since 1997 include a motorbike, laptops, mobile phones, satellite phones, BlackBerries, a Victorian desk, numerous satellite navigation devices, a £10 wall clock, a toaster and 12 rolls of gaffer tape.

And this is not me making it up, this list is the written answer supplied to Mike Weir, the Scottish National Party MP for Angus.

I have linked to them and have NO2ID on my blogroll – I hope you don’t mind me adding you to mine, either – no reciprocation required.

Great blog!

You are more than welcome Will. Ultimately all the credit goes to the No2ID campaign group in the UK which is the one that produced the video.

I am proud to be part of your Blogroll Will, it is an excellent progressive blog with lots of good stuff on civil liberties and I am embarassed I did not know about it until now.

Let’s hope people read it and wake up before it is too late to take back our privacy and freedom or our children will be branded with a barcode tattoo at birth. For their own protection obviously.

Thanks for that, Frank.

I know I only have a small blog but I do get a few readers – if they spread it around more then the message would get out – but, as always, I am not a national figure or have the resources of the big papers or TV companies – so I have to rely on what I can.

Please feel free to drop by any time – you will be most welcome.
