Secondly, I would like to comment on I.D cards, I really don't like the thought of them but then again can the Government actually track you on a daily basis? Fair enough if you leave the country but no actual day to day use of the card will be needed.. or unless i'm unaware of something?? We won't have to swipe it or officially show it when completing official documents.


1
The plan is to use the cards for almost everything, there is a transfer towards electronic only money, which will require an extension of bank card technology.
The ID card will be used instead, or at least needed to be scanned to verify when you move money, or buy and sell anything.
2
It will have your details on it and can be scanned from a distance so police etc can look at criminal records in a given area with a scanner.
3
You will need it to enter facilities, say libraries for example, the doors will be electronic, opened by your id card not your presence, like they are now.

Those are the actual goals so far, whatever the government might say, but really the potential is endless.
The government can already track you through chips in mobile phones, or its being implimented at the moment if they cant yet.

What would be the point if you didnt have to swipe or show it?
The extension of the technology will mean that it will be scanned automatically you wont have to get it out and show it, just carry it with you everywhere.
Of course this leads naturaly onto replacing a card which can be lost or stolen with a chip which is implanted.
See how its all planned, its very smart

Well from what i have read they will be issueing massive fines first, thousands of pounds per one. If you don't pay then it's jail. You are right they can't jail everyone at once but maybe they would do a staggered jailing thing. Jail most now and then jail others later.

Also once they jail you they will take your DNA and details anyway, that's a well thought out way of covering the angles they have there isn't it.

Furthermore you won't be abel to access half the things in your life without it. Imagine you refuse and they don't come knocking right away. You can't use a bank account, access a library, get a new passport or driving license, leave the country (the obvious thing to do is to need your card at an airport) and so many other things. Basically your daily life will be destroyed without one, unless you don't mind living off the land in the New Forest without anything that costs money then maybe you don't need one lol.

In the end as already mentioned you will need to swipe the card or be near an access point that detects the cards presence so being tracked everywhere is completely possible. If they want to find you they type in your number and find everything you last accessed.



So here some pro ID card people would say "Why are you worried they would need to find you? What have you got to hide?"

Nothing is the answer, i have nothing to hide. What worries me is the fact that if i am falsly accused of a crime they will know where to get me right away, and if my DNA is there innocently then i could be in alot of trouble. I gave a story earlier about a guy who went through that.

More importantly it's the fact that these cards won't do anything and will cost me money. I mean i am happy to pay the government taxes so that i could go to school, have nice roads, hospitals and so on. What i do not liek to pay for is a card that invades my privacy and does nothing. I should not be forced to pay for that. Let's go through the points.

1. They say it will stop terrorism but do terrorists need these? No they come on holiday here and bingo they are in and commit any act they want, so there cards fall down.

2. They say it will stop ID theft. Sorry no. If you know wherethe holes are in the system you can get a passport so why not a new card? Let's say i use a fake fingerprint, name, address and so on. I can now get a card with a whole new ID. This is one of many ways you could get one and be another person. The DNA is a pointless argument for confirming your ID. IN daily life you won't come across a scanner that scans your DNA quickly enough for it to ve viable. So what's the point of that even being considered to be on there?

3. It will stop money laundering. Sorry wrong again. Banks will still allow access to accounts over the phone. It would be very simple to steal someones details and use the account they already have to transfer money around the world.

4. They say it will stop illegal immigration. Again no sorry, the illegal imigrants will still come here. They will drop out of site and evrything will become organised as usual. Some fo the legal ones will have cards which they will use to get things for the illegal ones. Employers will still employ them for cheap and pay them in cash. This cash will be given to the legal ones with cards as payment, and so it goes on and on.

It's all rubbish, there is no reason for ID cards and there is certainly no reason for a DNA database, one which they will sell to the highest bidder.

We live in a damn democracy apparently and yet this is the most un-democractic thing i think this country has ever seen.

As others have said as welll, if you have a DNA database then DNA discrimination is the next step. Can anyone say Gattaca? If you havn't seen the film Gattaca get it, a startling view of the future. If Orwell was right now then Gattaca i think is the next future.

Make no mistake this is about an obsession to control the people by people who enter politics for the wrong reasons, because they are megalomaniacs.

These cards will have chips on them.

It WILL be compulsory to carry them no matter what the UK Government claim now.

The Blairite government claimed in its manifesto last year that the cards would NOT be compulsory. But with Blair, always expect to be lied to.

The British people will be able to be tracked wherever they are.

David Cameron has now said he supports the cards. The UK citizens have no control over the matter whoever wins the next election.

If you are a Uk citizen, your every move can be tracked and next they want to put tracking devices in your car too.

The authorities will abuse your rights with these cards, as we have seen an elderly man arrested under anti-terrorism laws in the Labour Party Conference for shouting something out.

The cards will be used by the police state to track those that are not compliance with the dictatorship.

Already Britain has the Metropolitan police chief Sir Ian Blair as a spokesman for Tony Blair's policies DURING an election campaign.

Blair is determined to be able to lock up suspects for up to three months on the say so of the Home Secretary.

Make no mistake Blair and his sychophants want a police state.

This will not stop terrorism.

It will not stop terrorist stepping off a plane.

Visitors will not require the cards.

It would not have stopped the 7/7 bombings.

It did not stop the Madrid bombings.

It will not stop ID theft, because ID theives do not need passports at the moment.



This has NOTHING to do with terrorism.

Let's recap what has Blair done to tackle terrorism?

He has turned UK into a terrorist target by joining Bush in his war in Iraq.

He has seen homegrown "terrorists" let off bombs in London, who incidentally had links to Haroon Aswat, an MI6 informant.

He has not secured the British borders. A tabloid reporter sailed into 40 ports around the country without ever having to show documents.

He left hate preachers like Abu Hamza to carry on for years.


A little bit of terrorism and a little bit of Islamophobia suits Blair. It helps him justify his wars with Bush. It helps him push through his police state. It helps him take away the freedoms of the British people and give those freedoms to the politicians.


But what has Blair done to tackle crime?

Like Sir Ian Blair, Britain has Blair's own people installed in every department to spin information to the public. They will manipulate statistics and "bury bad news" as needed. The latest crime figures have had to be recalled as they were so obviously wrong. And then we have the British Crime Survey, an over glorified OPINION POLL that ministers use while dismissing reported crime.

Violent crime in Britain has QUADRIPLED since Blair took over. He has softened or is about to soften laws on drink, drug, gambling, gay sex in toilets, prostitution. You name a vice, Blair has made it easier With his league tables and taking away responsibilities from parents and school discipline from teachers, he has helped turned Britain into the moral cesspit of the western world with record teenage pregnancies and STD and loutishness, drugs and anti-social behaviour. New York is now a far safer place than London.

What is Blair's answer?

ID Cards. Blair could not even revamp the current passport system without a fiasco. His friends are going to make billions out of this and the British people will pay the price.

If a failing leader such as Blair, sliding further down the polls month after month, can enforce this visibily useless, flawed and unwanted measure in a country which in actuality has (so far) more democratic public freedoms than the US.


Is that a joke? Our country is not free compared to the US. Did you know that we have to get police permission to have a peaceful protest if we are going anywhere near parliament? Most communist countries don't force that sort of thing.



It WILL be compulsory to carry them no matter what the UK Government claim now.


Yeah i love that one. "It's not compulsory, but you will need it to access your bank account and many other areas of life". This means that you will have to have one and damn well carry it everywhere, so many of the critics havn't picked up on that! Also as someone said if you want a new passport in the next couple of years you will have to have an ID card. That's using the backdoor strategy well.

Ok a couple of points. I dislike blair immensly but i agree with some of these policies. I don't see a problem with realxing the drink laws, as long as the age doesn't go down obviously.

Gambling was always going to be softened no matter which government comes in. That industry is so very profitable, look at how much money it turns over! I don't agree with it but it's always going to happen sadly.

"Gay sex in toilets"


Ok firstly i hadn't heard about this. Second no one should be having sex in toilets without being punished as it's a public place. Third why is it gay sex you focused on there? I am not accusing you of anything but it seemed like a very homophobic sentiment there. Please correct me if i am wrong, and my apologies if i am.

Prostitution has always and will always go on. You cannot and will not stop it sorry. I actually agree with legalising it. I wouldn't visit a brothel myself but i believe that organised, tax paying brothels would be a good thing. You could put regulations down so that safe sex is practiced and the girls (or guys) could be tested each month for STD's. It would also help reduce the violence and danger to the women doing it. I do think it's a good idea to legalise that.

Sorry i went off topic there.

Basically this country has gone to the dogs, and sadly i don't think it will get better. You have a massively corrupt and inefective government, many lazy people who sit on benefit with no just cause other than being lazy (not having a go at genuinly unwell or disabled people there) and loads of other things in a complete mess. Kids and teenagers phoning the fire brigade and when they arrive throwing stones, sticks and shooting at them with cheap air rifles. I even heard a fire fighter describing a call he had gone out on. Some kids lit a derelict house on fire but before doing so they went up to the second floor and smashed all the floor borads through by one of the boards. They did that so when a fire fighter went in he or she would fall through and land a story below! Utterly sick little (insert profanity). Then there were two other cases where some kids lit a dog on fire and filmed it on the phones thinking it was funny, and another that lit a tramp on fire and filmed it. A small selection of other storys is below, take a look and see what Blairs britain has been turned into.

"Happy Slapping" Serious assaults
news.bbc.co.uk...

Cat thrown off roof over and over and filmed on phone
news.bbc.co.uk...

14 year old girl attacked, 20 teens film it
news.bbc.co.uk...

These are not isolated incidents, it's not the media picking the bad stories out of all the good ones. This is now the norm where i live.

It's gotten to the point that my family and i are considering leaving this country and living somewhere else. Canada is somewhere i always liked. Nice big open country. Don't get me wrong i know every country will have it's problems but i am in utter dispair at this one. I have talked to friends about emigrating and many of them think the same. If they had the money they would go, a friend of the family has recently moved to Italy mainly because he thinks this country is truly rubbish. I love my country i really do, but it's been destroyed now. No one cares about anyone else, crimes gone up, the NHS is failing and well it's basically ruined.

Well look out Canada i think we'll end up there in a couple of years.
