Identity Cards Propaganda on Channel 4 - please complain

Ricky Rick | 02.03.2007 20:11 | Repression

I am disgusted to have just seen a half hour programme on Channel 4 hosted by Charles Clarke where he made the case for why we need identity cards. The programme offered no arguments against their introduction beside a brief interview with the face of Liberty.

The show was called 'The Insider' and was broadcast at 7.30 on Channel 4 today - March 2nd.

You can complain to Channel 4 here;

for those of us who rarely watch the box. What was the programme about? Do you have any specific examples of what the content was? Anything ... ?

it was in all but name a party political broadcast by clarke giving him full rein to extoll the wonders of identity cards. in it he clearly stated that all citizens would have to submit DNA samples and that the cards would contain a staggering amount of highly personal information about the bearer. apart from a very brief interview with chakrabarti, all the other interviewees were carefully selected to be wildly enthusiastic about id cards. they chose highly emotive examples like a very rare instance of how a patient who had died from complications because a hospital had not known what drugs her gp had already prescribed.

i became increasingly angry by the minute as i watched this vile propaganda unfurl. Normally channel 4 is one of the more enlightened channels but this was a truly disgraceful piece of program making. i'd urge everyone to complain to ch4 using the link above. it will have an effect. remember that they do take notice of complaints as each complaint typically represents the views of thousands of people who do care but just can't be arsed to complain.

do it now!

Torrent seems to be locked to one IP address or something (UK Nova) so only one person can download using that file at a time - deleted it, apologies for the confusion. I'll see if I can find another one.

Torrent not working, I'm afraid
