There is no authority without conformity. If it comes to it, use physical force but do NOT bow down to fascists, if you conform then you’re weak minded scum and you’re just as bad as the fascists themselves.

ANTIFASCIST ACTION

LET THE BOOTS DO THE TALKING!

>They don’t need to — nature does it already with your iris.

In the biometric tests they had a 1% failure rate. Although small, it means that a few hundred thousand people each year will not be identified at all and have to provide old fashion ID, or even worse be falsely identified as someone else.

Plus a barcode on the forehead can be changed. I can’t really change my iris pattern very easily. If I have been afforded police protection or recently recruited as a spy, I’d like to be able to identify myself as someone else. By having it on the forehead all the time I wouldn’t have any ID card to lose or get stolen.

I’m serious when I think the barcode on the forehead makes more sense than an ID card.

They don’t need to — nature does it already with your iris.

Any collected information that allows present or future fascist governments to identify non-conformists, political dissidents, non-violent protestors, racial minorities, cannabis smokers, journalists etc, is bound to meet with the approval of the current Bush/Blair oily-military-industrial-complex administration. This administration is already kidnapping people around the world, that they don’t like the look of, or anyone who anyone else has turned in for financial reward, without trial, and, in some cases, sending them to third countries to be tortured - just as the nazis did in Poland in World War 2. They have already abolished the right to a fair trial for anyone accused of "anti-social behaviour" or "terrorism". They have executed many people in Afghanistan by cramming them into container trucks then driving them around the desert until they are all dead, just as the Nazis did to the Jews. They have already abolished the right to hold demonstrations in Central London. They have targetted journalists for execution, by the military, in Iraq and Afghanistan. They have engaged in massive election fraud. They have undermined the United Nations and they have illegally invaded Iraq to boost the profits of the CIA/Halliburton/Brown & Root company. Anyone who thinks that this lot are only going to use data collected about them for benign purposes, such as to protect us all from fraud or terrorism, is living in cloud-cuckoo-land.

If the NHS has problems they can always ask to see my NHS card or any number of other ID’s I have which they will have to rely upon to prove my ID in the first place.

If you look at the BBC news website there is a poll (http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/talking_point/4578223.stm?display=1)
which so far indicates that out of around 13000 people, 80% are not in favour. If this is any way indicative (and how can it not be?) then the government are going to have a hard time selling this idea…

How many people actually do have their ‘identities stolen’? How many people actually defraud the NHS etc etc?

Much of this is the usual wild allegation, entirely unsubstantiated by any facts. Where is the research to support the PMOS’s views that insisting that the whole population pays \xA385 per head towards an ID card this will provide an infallible cure for all of these evils?

I don’t care if 80% of the population own passports. They are not required to produce them on demand. Passport ownership is not compulsory.

All of this is standard Big Brother stuff, controlling the masses by incremental legislation, and the PMOS is iterating the usual ‘make it up as you go along’ nonsense.

Those who say ‘if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to worry about’ are complete buffoons. We are all entitled to our privacy and freedom from state interference, petty official busybodies and general snoopers. Much of my private life and all of my biometric data is nobody’s damn business except for me and my maker.

And what makes the PMOS believe that such information will be secure, handled with discretion and used with integrity? Judging by the number of cases of illegal and unethical use of the NCIS and other government databases that’s never going to happen - of course ‘ethics’ and ‘integrity’ being words quite unknown to the PMOS.
