Sir Tony Blair and Lord Hague have called for everyone in the UK to get digital ID cards as part of a “technological revolution”.
In a report, the former Labour prime minister and Conservative leader argue that government records “are still based in a different era”.
The idea of introducing ID cards has been controversial.
As PM, Sir Tony tried to introduce an ID card scheme but it was scrapped by the coalition government.
Opponents of identity cards have raised concerns about civil liberties and what they see as unnecessary data collection and intrusion by the state.
And those concerns have not gone away and are as valid today as they were when the vile Blair was trying to force this turkey down our throats twenty years ago. So, fuck off, the pair of you and when you’ve done it, fuck off again and keep fucking off until you get the message. You can stick your ID cards where the sun don’t shine.
However, in their report, Sir Tony and Lord Hague, who faced each other at the dispatch box as party leaders, argue digital ID cards would make it easier and more secure for people to access services and for the government to understand their needs and better target support.
I don’t need you and I don’t need your support and I know exactly who I am. If I think you need to know, I’ll tell you, now, go and do that fucking off.
But Silkie Carlo, director of campaign group Big Brother Watch, said the “sprawling digital identity system” proposed by the pair “would be one of the biggest assaults on privacy ever seen in the UK”.
Precisely. Here we are, twenty years on and it looks as if I’ll have to dust down the armour and take to my charger again. Will this dragon ever fucking lay down and die? FFS!
Will this dragon ever fucking lay down and die?
Ah. A question we know the answer to.
No.
People like this will always be with us. And they will always be after power.
Just goes to show that the warmongerer/murderer and the loser are 2 sides of the same coin. I wish them both a long and painful end.
It is a reasonable bet that anything Tony Blair is in favour of is not good for the country. I consider it my duty to oppose whatever he suggests.
it will be like tax records where the great and the good details will be held on a completely seperate database which will only be accessible to a chosen few and won’t even interract with the main database. meanwhile everyone elses information will be open to every nosey powerhungry apparatchik.
you can be certain that the details of the great and the good, will be on a completely seperate database and closed off system just like their tax records. meanwhile our records will be open to every nosy officious jobsworth who fancies fucking up your day
What are these ‘services’ that need to be more accessible? If I don’t need anything they have to offer, can I opt out? Bollocks
I understand that the war criminal Blair is part of the New World Order, but had no idea that “12 pints a night” Hague seemed to be following the same doctrine. This is not about making lives easier for everyone. It is about control. Our ability to travel; get, and keep, a job; obtain money from a bank account; will be controlled by the elite. People like Blair. Fuck Off indeed.
