The Tories ridiculed the proposal in the light of the Government's record on managing databases, citing failures in the Sex Offenders Register, the Criminal Records Bureau, and recent problems tracking criminal records from overseas.
David Davis, the shadow Home Secretary, said the ID cards database was likely to be a "white elephant" costing £20bn, and the money could be better spent on policing or border controls.
Oliver Heald, the shadow Constitutional Affairs Secretary, told the BBC that ministers were "moving one step closer to a Big Brother state". He warned against the Government being able to "set up a database from the cradle to the grave".
He asked: "Are they going to have enough security with this massive new database to ensure it isn't hacked into and that identity theft doesn't occur?"

Sorry, and i dont mean to sound rude, but i think this "person you know" is probably suffering from some kind of mental disorder (possibly Paranoid Schizophrenia)
This talk of thought monitoring will only divert us from a very serious topic... We know that Government have the ability to track us via chips, introduce biometric ID's and create a DNA database... but... monitoring thoughts? Well for me that stays in the realms of science fiction, at least until i see some solid proof!!
Of course these are just my personal opinions, and i could be wrong, but i would just hate to see this thread go down the path of peoples fantasys and avoid the very real reality of what we know is happening!
It might be worth creating another thread somewhere to discuss the possibiltys of this technology you claim is monitoring peoples thoughts? just an idea...
Sorry if i have, in anyway, offended you.

Britain is getting worse... unfortunately we seem to be a "cap in hand" nation. Meaning that we keep taking whatever they (the powers that be) throw at us
