Text 2 Feb Please Digg this ID Card Story

A leaked document gives away the British government’s real intentions for ID cards and the methods they are thinking of using to coerce (their word) us into getting one. This document shows that many ministers who have spoken in the house have been rather economical with the truth. This story is not reaching the media so we need to blog and web 2 its way into the public’s consiousness.

From an IT point of view, it is unworkable, many people think this is a reason not to fear it, I think a badly working system is far worse, can you imagine haveing a card that doesnt work because of a clerical error when that card is the sole key to your medical care, insurance, library, car tax and mot, employment, hotels, internet cafes etc etc. I don’t even need to go into the data security or personal isses! 

My mirror of the document  Please read, mirror and blog!!!
