Those persistent ID Cards
The
Register considers (again) the way that the government will not take
"No" for an answer when it comes to ID Cards.
Potential contractors are walking away, the people will be persuaded to get one by a Readers' Digest type marketing campaign, government data security has had its worst press (justified) for absolutely ages, the 'gold standard' for identity verification has been demoted to 'what you've already told us', and still they will insist we get one!
Ably annotated by No2ID, this document shows quite clearly the levels of deceit and underhand tactics that they consider justified to get the whole population onto their National Identity register.
Surely this NuLabour government can't be National Socialists, can they?
