A serious announcment regarding ID cards.

Here at the blog of many things, we like a good laugh. But sometimes things need to get serious. This is one of those situations.

Despite continued opposition, labour has decided to go ahead with it's controversial idea to launch ID cards. The scheme begins today in the city of Manchester. at first the ID cards are going to be voluntary, but soon they will be compulsory for airport staff. The government aims to have everyone with an ID card by 2017.

I am begging the people of Manchester not to join this scheme. These ID cards are totally unnecessary, and are just another way for the government to keep tabs on the populace and invade out privacy.

Allow me to spell this out for everyone: WE ARE BECOMMING NAZI GERMANY.

Your grandparents and your parents fought and died for NOTHING. Fascism is coming, but the administration is playing the long game. People are being barred from entering Britain just for their political views. Many of these people are pricks, but it's their right to be a prick if they want.

The government continues to tighten its grip on telecommunications, logging all your contacts and accessing personal information on social networking sites. How long before they not only monitor who you are contacting via e-mail, but also what you are saying? How long before they listen to phone calls rather than just checking the log?

September 11th was a tragedy. July 7th was too, but for the love of the land people, we are not under threat. Terrorism is no bigger threat now than it was before.

Our government are the biggest terrorists, using fear to control the masses, and take away all the rights and liberties they claim to be protecting.

Sod it, the only people who ever take notice of these things are conspiracy nuts and acne ridden teenagers.

I'll just end by saying please, please say no to the ID card scheme. At the very least, it will save you some money. And it might save much more.
