Leaked Document shows British Government National Idenity card Coercion Plan

[Impotence]

From Slashdot

BoingBoing is relating a hair-raising tale from the UK anti-ID-register group 'NO2ID' that claims to have a leaked government document [PDF] detailing how the UK government plans to "coerce" citizens into a national ID register. "UK campaigners NO2ID this morning enlisted the help of bloggers across the world to spread a leaked government document describing how the British government intends to go about "coercing" its citizens onto a National Identity Register. The 'ID card' is revealed as little more than a cover to create a official dossier and trackable ID for every UK resident - creating what NO2ID calls 'the database state'."

that stuff is scary, especially because our government wants to do the same thing.

in a perfect world, i'd agree with having ID cards would be a good idea, however, we don't live in a perfect world & i think the UK (& US according to Swansen) government is obviously trying to create a perfect world by introducing ID cards, this is, in my opinion, is a bad idea

we already have to prove every :swear:ing thing in the UK, as far as i'm concerned they can bo11ocks

Edit: it's true that if you've nothing to hide you should be i favour of such a plan, but, as with anything there are always around stuff, like for example in UK they introduced Chip & Pin for paying for stuff with a debit / credit card and that turned out to be disastrous as the news pointed out
