The Disturbing World of Why They're So Interested In YOU

Have you ever wondered (if not, smack over the head for you) why there's such a big interest in everything you are and everything you do lately? If you flick on the news there's always some story about how the Labour party are bringing in a new survey, or how they're bringing in a new test for the public. But haven't you ever even thought to yourself "hang on a minute... what's the big idea? Why the big interest in how I eat, sleep and shit?" That's because they're a bunch of fucking Nazis' that's why.
Everything they do is just so creepily probing, and unnecasserily so. Such as 'New UK citizenship testing starts' and ' Lone parents face more interviews' and all this just so they can spend all your fucking money ' Why MPs' expenses claims just don't add up ' considering that there are a lot of usless bodies shuffling about Parliament all those claimed expenses of £176,026 to as low as (thank god) £42,709. Why do we have to put up with all their crap? All their mismanagement, their blunders, their racism, all that dull light shining from out of their arses.

As for the whole ID card debate. Quite frankly there is no debate on this, it is at a dead end. The ID Card can not protect us from 'Terrorism'. It does not protect your identity, it broadcasts it. It isn't designed to keep you safe, or to protect you. It is a little piece of plastic which gives a nice little account about you. You're postal address, your age, sex, race, looks e.g. colour of eyes, hair. Nice if anyone wanted to say, up the transportation of illigal women abroad to sell into the sex trade. It's almost like typing in your search fields and with a click of a button you have all the information about people you want. How is this supposed to protect anybody? And if they enforce that by law you have to carry both a passport and ID card around with you at all times, theives are going to want to get their hands on both your passport and your ID card to sell on the black market. A passport stollen on the black market is probably worth about £10,000. Their sold to people who are desperate and want to come to this country. If a new passport and ID card are going to fetch you the individual about £120 can you imagine the sort of hell raising party criminals are going to have when they up their prices?

And what does the Labour party or any other party get from the use of ID cards? They can know all about you in detail. They can target you personally. They can track you down and you are no longer a free individual with the right to freedom of speach. You are no longer a free ethnic minority if they suddenly decide they want to do away with you coz they don't like your hair cut or you gave Tony Blair a funny look.

"As the ID cards bill nears its second reading in Parliament tomorrow, the cracks are really beginning to show. Prominent commentators are looking at the record of large Government IT projects, and aren’t coming away impressed. The union representing the workers who would have to run the scheme are saying they won’t play ball. There are reports that the Government is planning to sell access to the ID database, perhaps to offset the cost, which the LSE says may add up to £18bn - triple the government estimate of £6bn (there are also signs that the Government is being less than transparent about their costs).…

Update: Critics lay into Blair on ID cards.

Update 2: Labour majority halved despite Clarke pledge to cap ID card cost and Clarke on defensive as MPs criticise ID cards as illiberal and ineffective
