GOVERNMENT U TURN ON ID CARD

The scheme was first revealed in 2004 by the then Prime Minister Tony Blair as one of a series of measures designed to combat terrorism.

"It's said these measures are scaremongering, but the fact is that the threats faced by the country are real, " Mr Blair said.

At that stage the Government planned that it would be compulsory for all British citizens to carry one.

Ministers have since decided that the scheme should be voluntary for Britons but compulsory for foreigners living and working in the UK.

Sky's political correspondent Glen Oglaza said: "Today Mr Johnson mentioned ID cards would tackle a number of issues: ID cards, illegal working etc, but he did not mention terrorism.

"The whole idea was introduced by Tony Blair as one of the primary ways of combating terrorism."

As recently as January, the then Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said that combating terrorism was a chief benefit of the scheme.

"Those benefits include increased protection against identity fraud for the individual and help in protecting our communities against criminals, illegal immigrants and terrorists trying to exploit multiple identities," she said.

Shadow home secretary Chris Grayling said the Government was in chaos.

"They have spent millions on the scheme so far - the Home Secretary thinks it has been a waste and wants to scrap it, but the Prime Minister won't let him. So we end up with an absurd fudge instead. This is no way to run the country."

[yingyangboy89]

HAHA!

No fucking way, that's pure Totalitarianism, don't be brainwashed by what the media says. Please visit the website at the top of my page, and watch the 2 hour documentary, you will find the answers.

This ID card is just the beginning, then they will lead to putting a chip in your arm, with your money and details on it.

BOYCOTT THIS SHIT!

Government, shmovernment. Just give me the right to be left the hell alone. I am a sovereign individual and I don't need the state to take care of me. I know who I am and my friends know who I am and what I look like. What more is needed. This woman is obviously a mental midget.
