Well it was Parliaments vote on ID cards yesterday and they voted in favour with 150 or so MPs _away_ to do Christmas shopping or whatever (Damn I cant find a link for this but Im *sure* it was on Radio 4). This was conveniently so that they didnt have to vote *against* their parties. For such a big issue as ID cards (and one that Im against), this just makes me think theyre a bunch of shits.
ID cards will initially not be compulsory, but will become so. Supposedly terrorism isnt the main reason for ID cards, but to _empower_ us with our identities - yeah *right* .. *Phhisshhh*
I dont want to have an ID card just to rent a DVD or whatever, I know who I am and if becomes a problem for bank accounts or whatever then Ill deal with it then. I have a passport, which is _surely_ the best form of ID anyway .. or atleast should be
Ofcourse theres also the very bad track record Governments have in any big computer system so no doubt we’ll be spending millions on a system which will think Im an old lady from Grantham - if it works at all
And another thing… the Tories support ID cards too so theres no real option .. Yay for democracy!
