Blunket to force I.D. Cards for all at £40 each.

DAVID BLUNKETT has decided that everybody in Britain over the age of 16 will have to buy an identity card at nearly £40 each, a leaked cabinet document reveals.

This is from the man who signed the document that allows America to extradite any of us
without any effort by HMG to prevent it.

Strange how HMG tell us that if we have nothing to hide, we have nothing to fear.
Try getting information, or even a straight answer out of Tony Blair (or any politician!)

These are the actions of a fascist state.
