THE END OF PRIVACY IN Great Britain & Northern Ireland

Remember the fuss and palaver when Gordon Brown wanted to issue everyone with ID Cards. Naturally, there was opposition everywhere, I myself joined in with many others, and, together, we beat the Socialist/Communist/Heathen idea back into the mediaeval void it had emerged from.

But now we see the Digital I.D. has suddenly erupted before our very eyes, and, apparently, nobody even bloody noticed: because it was done stealthily, quietly, and with, for a very rare change from This Government, competently.

But, with this ‘Digital I.D., comes the end of privacy.
