But the 9/11 hijackers all had valid US paperwork. ID cards aren't going to solve the problem; the money can surely be better sent on security forces instead. http://www.pledgebank.com/no2id#comment_82495 Identity cards, a rather useless, timewasting idea. What nonsense they claim that ID cards will reduce crime and eliminate terrorism. http://www.pledgebank.com/no2id#comment_37160 If this is allowed to happen, our country will be all but lost http://www.pledgebank.com/no2id#comment_15821 Another clear example of how unconcerned a large part of the british public are towards ID cards. SAY NO to this invasion of privacy and civil liberties.. http://www.pledgebank.com/no2id#comment_8375 Oppresive is final step back to a wilderness. http://www.pledgebank.com/no2id#comment_6730 I will refuse as well. The identity card is totalitarian and undemocratic and pointless other than to increase the Labour Party's control over our lives. http://www.pledgebank.com/no2id#comment_3309 Is carbonated water better for you or is plain better....it's really up to you. Don't lose your vote! http://www.pledgebank.com/no2id#comment_3018 i love to register on id on the street http://www.pledgebank.com/no2id#comment_1115 This very old pledge inspired the new id cards pledge. We've now updated PledgeBank so it says that this pledge is cancelled at the top of the page. There's a link to the new pledge there. http://www.pledgebank.com/no2id#comment_1061 How is this different from the www.pledgebank.com/refuse pledge? This one detracts from the more realistic and achievable target set there. I am totally against ID cards, but Stef, you have really just jumped on the bandwagon here without thinking about it. 3 million is a ludicrously high number. http://www.pledgebank.com/no2id#comment_115 One thing (out of many) that is particularly unnerving about the whole Orwellian nightmare that is the National ID Card/Population Register is the fact that one of the companies in the running for the contract, Atos Origin, are the same company that administer disability benefits in this country. Previously this particular division of Atos Origin was known as Schlumberger-Sema, a firm with a history of building population databases; it was they who operated a Hollerith punch-card system for the German government between 1933 and 1945. http://www.pledgebank.com/no2id#comment_91 I pledge not to use the ID card http://www.pledgebank.com/no2id#comment_85 Our current government are all about passing bills through the back door, smoke screening the real issues with lesser solutions to minor problems. They even use illegal means to push unpopular bills through parliament. Tony Blair is a proven liar and yet we still voted them back. The id card debate has gone on for years and I can't help but feel that our government are once again cashing in on current global fears, real or imagined, propagated in part by our own elected government. Do you remember the *how to survive a terrorist attack* booklet? It smacked of the survive nuclear blast infomercials etc of the 50's. ID cards are yet another nail in the coffin of personal freedoms and civil liberties. There are already government bodies collecting personal data on all of us. The data protection act is a mine-field and constantly changing, becoming more and more liberal and not in our best interests. How long will we allow this draining of our private lives go on? http://www.pledgebank.com/no2id#comment_84 Why make things easier for the government to dig up dirt on people who do not agree with them or follow their rules meekly and do not think that this information will not be available/accessable to those who will be happy to abuse the system for their own ends. http://www.pledgebank.com/no2id#comment_83 It's none of the state's business what our private business is, and to intefere is a violation of our civil rights. There's also the small matter of 300 quid each. http://www.pledgebank.com/no2id#comment_82 No to ID cards. In fact, no to any form of identification at all! Burn the driving licences, passports and all other form of state intervention in the private matter of who I am! http://www.pledgebank.com/no2id#comment_80 Make that two weeks' dole money! http://tinyurl.com/bpev7
