ID Card FAIL, again.

[The Black Flash]

From our favourite state broadcaster:

BBC said:

Anti ID card campaigner Phil Booth failed to make to a fringe meeting earlier - because he could not get an ID card. Mr Booth had been relishing the prospect of debating the government's controversial ID scheme with Home Office minister Meg Hillier.

But when he turned up at Labour's pass office in Manchester he was told there had been a problem with his application - and it would cost him £600 for a temporary pass to enter the conference for an hour - far too pricey for an organisation which relies on voluntary donations.

Either (a) deliberate, in which case it shows how ripe the whole ID thing is for abuse by those in power; or (b) incompetence, in which case it shows how ripe the whole ID thing is for fking up your daily life for no apparent reason.

Oh, and now they want to extend ID cards to 14 year olds, but it's ok "beacuse we already fingerprint 6 year olds". Sheer facism.

Hmm, seems a little suspect, and fairly typical of Nu Laba style to me.

The Waffen SS had more morals than these self serving scum.

While I'm no fan of Labour, I'm pretty sure that's not true!
