Why do people assume this?? "If you have nothing to hide, you don't need to worry". Just because I have nothing to hide, doesn't give people the right to invade my privacy. I was talking to my friend today about the piece of news that really wound me up. Naturally, I got a bit worked up about it. Then, in an attempt to calm me down, uttered the words "You've got nothing to hide". Why the hell should I have to have something to hide to be against these ID cards? It's not about me, it's the fact that everything about the National Register, and the Identity Cards is severely sinister! It's draconian, and badly thought through. They won't work in any way other than controlling the population. They won't stop identity fraud; in fact, they'll make it easier. For a start, you're carrying around a small card with your whole life story on it. You get that stolen, and you are no longer you. Someone else is. Wouldn't be quite so bad if they didn't have biometric information on it - lets face it - you can't change your irises or fingerprints. Not like you can change a password, or a phone number, or an address. And what about hackers, or just plain old human error. The National Database will crash, and when it happens, people will officially stop existing. And what about the people in charge of these databases, huh? Do you know who has access to your information? Who's following you? If somebody paid the right price, might they be able to see your information too? And what about hackers? They'll no doubt find a way into the database in no time!
And, for those who couldn't care less about their freedom, what about the cost? It's going to cost near on £100! And that's just out of our own pockets; if the scheme proves to cost more than expected - and if LSE are right then it probably will - then how will they cope? They'll tax us. They'll tax us for existing.
What about when things get really bad? What if some lowly citizen annoys the powers that be? What if he stops existing too? What if there becomes an underclass of people who are no longer citizens? What if there is a weird division of classes. ID cards in South Africa buggered things up - and it'll happen here too. Within months.
This is all the fault of the British general public. Those stupid idiots who got sucked in by Labour again. You'd have thought they'd have learnt their lesson after the second term, but nooooo. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't, seems to be the mindset of these effwits. And whilst the northerners have never had it so good under labour, the south of England is being turned into a massive council estate! They're building on our fields, and the government pay the worthless to have children, and live in these sub-standard housing estates currently being built. And these lazy minded council house living single mothers will not care that the country is going down the pot. All they'll want to do is sit around watching daytime TV, smoke, and become conditioned not to care. Nobody cares now! Especially the young. The people my age. I did a study in sociology recently, on what young people knew about Politics. You know what they knew? Bugger all! And why? 'Cause they couldn't care less. Apathetic little.... Grrr.
Buuut, I'll have to stop there, otherwise I'll end up shouting at a poor innocent member of my family - probably my dad, as he'll be in the kitchen when I go and make myself a cuppa.
Woah. Long rant.
