UK Government May Ignore ID Card Opposition

Posted by michael on from the by-whatever-means-necessary dept.

    Exactly... My country, the United States, has ignored millions of people who were against giving women and blacks the right to vote.

    Let's hope that it is. If you are British and have any sense, you should vote anything but Labour in the next election.

    How funny is that? The British need to vote out the "liberal" party to prevent 1984 and those of us in the US need to vote out the "conservatives."
    It just goes to show that people in power don't have any goals other than increasing their power. Their political positions are just the means by which they think they can get the most votes.
