No2ID Graffiti found in Nottingham!

Tash [alan lodge] | 26.01.2006 19:51 | Repression | Social Struggles

As I wandered about in Nottingham this afternoon, my eye was attacted to the stenciled graffiti near the shops in Bottle Lane of Briddlesmith Gate.
It appears that a pixie, with a political stance on the subject of ID cards, had put this up while no-one was looking.









No2ID Graffiti found in Nottingham!

As I wandered about in Nottingham this afternoon, my eye was attacted to the stenciled graffiti near the shops in Bottle Lane of Briddlesmith Gate.

It appears that a pixie, with a political stance on the subject of ID cards, had put this up while no-one was looking.

Such a passing pixie, might oppose the governments proposed scheme, a few reasons. Such as:

An ID scheme won't stop terrorists.
An ID scheme will not eliminate benefit fraud.
An ID scheme will cost billions in taxpayers money.
An ID scheme will mean your most intimate details will be controlled by the government forever.

You will have to pay for an ID scheme out of your own pocket.

If you agree with this, and are concerned, please check out

The Lords have recently rejected the proposals as they are currently constituted, but bilieve me when I say that this is not the end of the arguement, we are still at the begining......

BBC - The government's ID cards scheme has suffered three defeats in the Lords.
