The attached leaked government document, annotated by NO2ID, makes for interesting reading.
UK campaigners NO2ID this morning enlisted the help of bloggers across the world to spread a leaked government document describing how the British government intends to go about “coercing” its citizens onto a National Identity Register. The ‘ID card’ is revealed as little more than a cover to create a official dossier and trackable ID for every UK resident – creating what NO2ID calls ‘the database state’.
As if Facebook’s privacy policy and the UK government losing CDs of personal data left right and centre weren’t enough, the attached document describes using “various forms of coercion” to introduce the ID card to the UK. It’ll feel like flying into the US before too long.
