Don't see the problem and never have.

Ok so they are pointless - so why all the bleating about civil liberties
and
'despots' (A Wanker-S) - if the information is already there then there
is
nothing to worry about is there?

How about that little fact that as soon as these things come into force we
begin a new era where the government forces of all kinds can use control
methods.

You're wasting your breath - the prick thinks the default condition is
democracy and all you have to do is nothing to keep it that way.
And if anyone is still thinking in terms of simple 'ID cards' then you've
already missed the point.
Perhaps if they had called it 'The Compulsary Fingerprinting Bill' (which is
exactly what it is, and more) the great British public wouldn't be
sleepwalking into it quite so readily.
It's the central database tracking your whole life that's going to be the
problem. Any IT freak will tell you it won't work (15% error is likely) and
it will be open to more fraud, corruption and abuse than any credit card.
For the words 'database error' (you'll be hearing that phrase a lot soon)
read 'someone's life being ****** up til they get it sorted out'.
Many people know how difficult it is to get an error in your credit rating
sorted out let alone all the scope for monumental ****- ups contained in
this ill-thought out and authoritarian scheme.
And the next step will be electronic tagging on our cars so you can be
physically tracked too - you wait and see - the control freaks will find
some justification or other to do it. Then what next - chip implants at
birth?
You want one - go ahead. I choose not to have one - thanks all the same. So
now I'm a criminal and can be jailed for that choice I just made.
And people say it's not authoritarian?! - it's enough to make you puke to
listen to the blinkered ****wits!
I'm sick of this 'if you've got nothing to hide' crap too. *Everybody* has
things they want to hide - they just don't know it... yet.
