That's the whole IDea.

Reading this article about ID cards and that they must be compulsory. I just had to laugh. They need to be if tracking everyone is the whole point in this ridiculous policy. They want to have everybody cataloged and filed away. It makes it easier to control your subjects when they have to provide ID every time they want to use a public loo. That was how it went in Soviet Russia and, as I've said before, they would have loved the technology we have now. No-one, and I mean no-one, would have been able to interfere with the ruling elite if they had this technology in Russia. If it was just for social fraud then only those claiming would need it. You don't have one then you can't claim. I don't even think that is right either but they are so arrogant in their calls for these cards they don't even attempt to introduce them like that.

Soon everything will be recorded on this database, all your financial transactions, your travel itinary when linked with the car database, the channels you watch on TV. What hand you scratch your balls with. Won't be long before the card records everything you say and do and stores it forever. Storage is cheap, video compression and analysis is getting better every day. After all, if you have nothing to hide.

Clearly our MPs do have things to hide. Surely even those clowns are starting to wake up to the fact they will be included in this database. Even MPs, with IQ's normally associated with microscopic pond life, must realise they won't be excluded. Could this trigger the opposition parties? These, unlikely as it seems, could be one of our saviors as we as a people don't do anything about it. We are British, stiff upper lip and all that. We whine but that's it so our beloved leaders just carry on regardless. Luckily, in a way, we are being augmented with foreigners who vote with exploding vests. They see this as aimed at them. They may do something about it as well.

Alternativly, bring on our £1K ID cards. Mainly because we will have to pay for all those on the social, which in reality also equated to those working for the Government. A good 50% of our population. No wonder I am so tired. Working to keep all those useless mouths fed.
