According to a campaigner from http://www.nocards.org , the ball is now on a UK pitch...
"Wake up, England!" she says. "You guys are the frontline. You need to fight this to stop it happening in the rest of the world." Such a fight, she suggests, could start by demanding more information and more security guarantees on RFID tagging before it becomes a feature of our retail landscape. Or it could start by questioning whether a discount on your favourite brand of butter or a free trip to the zoo is worth the cost of being spied on. Or, to begin with, it might just start with a very simple statement: "No, I don't have a sodding loyalty card!"
