Some of our commenters seem more interested in slagging off the video than checking the facts. Please do visit the website and read our references - including the Home Office documents - and ask yourself whether you really believe that 'Take Jane' could never happen.
I and many others fear it will, no matter what 'assurances' the government might give.

I agree with you. I consider myself to be a free human being and do not wish to live in a communist state. It is my right as a free person to live in a free world and not as a caged, tracked being. I strongly oppose the idea of ID cards and a data base system that holds peoples personal information and credit details etc, which will be the case as heading that way.
So let me get this straight: you'd rather do nothing about people trafficking, terrorism and identity theft, each of which is ruining thousands of lives right now, than do something about institutional corruption that supposedly fails carefully constructed characters such as this?
Not at all, szczepansky - the ID scheme will do nothing to tackle the problems you mention, but *will* expose others to risks that the gov't and its apologists won't even acknowledge. For example: NO2ID has suggested practical measures (already being used in other countries, including the US) that would cut out vast amounts of identity fraud right NOW, at zero cost to the consumer - but the government chooses to ignore them and push ahead with its hugely costly and dangerous ID scheme.
Whilst Take Jane is a fictional work, the same could be said about people trafficking, terrorism and identity theft. These issues are blown out of all proportion by politicians, the media and vested interests. Even the Government has given up using terrorism as an excuse for ID Cards.
"Nothing to hide nothing to fear" People who believe this are only fooling themselves - if it were wholly true the concept of a private life would be non-exisitent. What I choose to reveal about myself, aside from my own birth and death, is my business.
When the ID (entitlement) cards become necessary in order to do things such as open an account or claim benefit then people such as the fictional Jane's mother will have nowhere to hide whilst those with enough money (the criminals perhaps) will still be able to set up false identities in order to evade capture or falsely claim benefits, it is only the innocent that will suffer!
If someone bribes and gets records out of a central database owned by the govt that is an issue for the police/security officials to sort out rather than no2id campaigners sweating out on void-vacuum to get their message across. I wonder how they(no2id camp) trust their own banks and its employees handling their 'sensitive' & 'bribe-proof' personal data?. Get real!
Do you have any idea how often the a government employee leaves a laptop on a train and details are stolen from COUNTLESS government databases??? Literally every month. So putting all of these details in once place is just asking for more trouble...
