UK Plans To Link Criminal Records To ID Cards
Death Metal writes with this excerpt from ComputerWeekly.com about the UK's national ID card scheme: "Privacy advocates have reacted angrily to reports that the government plans to link national identity records to criminal records for background checks on people who work with children and vulnerable people. Up to 11 million such workers could be affected immediately if the plan goes ahead. Phil Booth, national co-ordinator of privacy advocates NO2ID, said the move was consistent with the various forms of coercion strategy to create so-called volunteers for national ID cards. 'Biometrics are part of the search for clean, unique identifiers,' Phil Booth said. He said the idea was patently ridiculous when the Home Office was planning to allow high street shops and the Post Office to take fingerprints for the ID card."
Dudes, why are you voting for hitler clones?
Hitler would be having orgasms over how the UK is acting.
Are the UK govt following his papers?
What is wrong with all the old grey hair govt people, are they insane or are they puppets controlled by some master?
Is all that extreme pay packets blinding their judgements?
If your in govt, you work for the PEOPLE, not your manager or future career.
yeah lets hope the economy fails, we all loose money, then we can do a revolution and take over.
Liberty freedom are no1, not dicks in suits.
From the UK and don't like the ID card proposals? Then use your vote next year!
As a UK citizen who works abroad I have not had a vote for years. Their stupid rules don't allow me to vote yet they allow illegal immigrants to register any number of votes each.
The system is rigged to skew results to the left.
