More details
The plan for a National Identity Card scheme is an invasive threat to privacy and yet will achieve nothing.
Today the Government announced that contracts to supply computer equipment and manage the application and issuing of cards have been put out to tender.
A boycott of a company's services -- for example changing phone and internet provider from BT to another firm -- is a simple way to make them think twice about whether they want the job.

Sorry, I'm a numpty.
I asked the ID and passport service a question a while back using the form thing on their website, and they somehow managed to reply to the wrong email address even though I'd typed mine into a form for them.
did u know brussels already makes 70% of your laws and the uk gives the eu over 7 billion a year and what do we get back in return?
the eu wants to scrap the pound.
now lets stop it a www.iwantareferendum.com
and vote ukip at the next election to get out of the eu
