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.

ID Card CON-sultation

The above article states (wrongly) that "...His (Blunkett's) decision follows a consultation exercise which found strong public support for ID cards in the wake of terrorist alerts after the September 11 terrorist attacks."

Anyway regardless of whether or not thats true, what with Total Information Awareness, which in a few years will probably be up and running and destroying all civil liberties and privacy (a huge database of EVERYTHING- what books you read, what you do, where you go, credit cards, etc), and TIPS (government information program which supposedly had 2-3million volunteers in the cities for the trials, although that sounds pretty high) [both in America], and all this new surveillance stuff they're bringing in like face-recognition cameras, biometric stuff, and so on, the world is really turning into surveillance states, although Idont want to sound paranoid.
They want to keep tabs on everyone always, and also give loads of state money to high-technology companies (stuff like face recognition is supposedly really crap and always comes up with false-negatives and false-positives).
