I got my tinfoil hat...
we all post our face and info to a site and then the gubment gotz face recognition software, so they can collect thier files in one conveinent location... that is much more efficient than collecting it all one person at a time out in the feild....
I hadn't thought of that, maybe I'm not radical enough yet

You could probably "prove" that British people consider the sky to be pink if you tried hard enough.

So the UK are pushing the ID-card through the EU countries so in that respect it's unlikely you would not going to have them.
If you say your against that, then you have the figures against you since a public consultation exercise results from 2003 where:
in favour: 2606 responses (61%)
against: 1587 responses (38%)
neutral: 48 responses (1%)
I think it's what the Americans call "Mission Creep". Now that we are aware the government had changed their reason for wanting it, we ask the question, "What is the real reason?"

Another photographer, going about his lawful business who was stopped and who's data will now be held by the state for a year.

The 8:50 interview is quite interesting.

This, Stephan, shows why we are so "touchy" in the UK about this sort of thing. It is becoming regular now that people going about their daily, lawful business, have their details taken and kept by the state. The legislation seems to be shifting away from the state protecting the populus, to the state watching and suspecting the populus.

If we were to talk about a state were members of the public were stopped from taking photographs, threatened with arrest, had personal property confiscated for not aquiescing to an illegal request from a member of the state's law enforcement, then an outsider might think we were talking about communist China, or Zimbabwe or the old USSR. Not the UK.
