ID Cards: A George Orwell Reality
Recently, the Labour government passed the identity cards bill through the House of Commons by a significantly reduced majority of just 31 votes. But what price will the people of Britain have to pay for such an act?
I for one, feel this is nothing more than the beginning of a "Big Brother" society...a society where civil liberties are no longer a matter, and as David Davis put it: "a fundamental shift in the balance of power between the citizen and the state". Shouldn't it be the British people themselves who have complete control over their independance, and not to be subjected to carrying around identity cards, just to cover up Labour's complete lack of control over immigration and other political failures? Our independance and liberties were gained through past British generations fighting and dieing for them, so how does this government feel it is acceptable to throw those aspects completely to one side, and forget everything that this country had to endure just to achieve our freedom? Whats even more absurd, is that new Labour doesn't seem to take into consideration the cost of such a scheme. Billions of the tax payers money will have to go towards this measure, money which could have been used in more needed areas such as our dismal National Health Service, education, police, e.t.c...but instead, is wasted on this ID proposal, which is inevitable to become a failure.
ID Cards - a breach of our civil liberties, or the way forward to stop terrorism?

Thats fine, your perfectly entitled to your opinion, but what relation does this have to ID cards?
You say "I for one, feel this is nothing more than the beginning of a "Big Brother" society...a society where civil liberties are no longer a matter", but then want 24hour CCTV at ports. What's up with that?
Very true, I am very much for 24 hour CCTV surveillance at our ports, but the last time i checked, illegal immigration wasn't a civil liberty.
