And above all else, keep up the pressure. Governments are concerned with one thing and one thing only. Power. If they realise this is an issue that could cost them an election, they will have very little option but to rethink.
Thank You.
If you oppose these plans, then do something about it.
You could do worse than by visiting the No2ID cards website:

But, you can be even more productive and write to your MP to complain about this. Here's how you can contact your local MP:

And don't forget to sign the petition opposing the governments plans to introduce an internet monitoring database:

Why aren't we doing this in Britain? Our government is going even further than this and we are just sitting back and letting it happen. So, is there a petition that exists that we can send to the government, or do I have to create one?
Thanks.

I am posting a link to 2 petitions that people in Britain can sign opposing such action. Please sign it and pass it on to as many people as you can: http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/privacy-matters/ http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/edatabase/
