More details
In light of the government's proven incapability to guarantee the security of personal data and the risk to individual liberty, prosperity and freedom and the potential for massive ID Fraud, We should ALL send a strong message to parliament that we are free individuals born into liberty and we are NOT the property of the state. Our personal information belongs firmly to US and not THEM. We shall only volunteer information to them IF and when they can be trusted to look after it, and only that information that WE want to allow them to have. WE OWN OURSELVES AND OUR DATA. Any information we wish to keep private, is NONE OF THEIR DAMN BUSINESS!

Comments on this pledge
It has been proven time and again that this and the last Prime Minister are incapable of refusing the Americans and it is suspicious how this came about, did they lose it? Or was it sold to American or Israeli intelligence interests, the same ones bidding for the ID cards and National Identity Register contracts.
It has to go further than a simple curative, we need to root out the commerical aspect of our data, abolish the data collection agencies and return our details to be our own sovereign and private domain.
I have nothing against our American cousins who are suffering a lot more and have reason to fear ID card systems a whole lot more thanks to an ever increasingly brutal police state but I'll be damned before I sign my details over to a government that freely trades my information with nations and companies that can and will misuse it.
Experian and Equifax should also be banned from operating in the UK as they are as criminally bad in selling our information.

These examples happen to come from South Africa, but similar things have occurred elsewhere. Let's not allow them to happen here!
What in heavens name is an American arms trader wanting with all our personal details?
No way! We live in Britain, and pledge our alliegence to the Queen, NOT to George Bush or any other USA president!
Personal information is just that. Personal. NOT the public property of the state in which I live. If we accept this new affront to our liberties, yet another measure imposed under the banner of "preventing terrorism", then the terrorists have already won.
People of Britain, grow some balls, and stand up to this now.
This country is fast turning into a police state. What with the government actually using paedophiles (yes, that's right, PAEDOPHILES! and the BBC know all about that one as well) in government consultation papers on child protection issues, you have to wonder what the bleeding hell is going on!
NO ID cards! NO! NO! NO!
A place not exactly known for liberalism and a national station run on a shoestring manages this without a murmur. No-one has rioted in the street or burnt their neighbours at the stake.
What is the BBC's problem?
