   Interesting indeed, especially when the media have been implying that the scheme may not be implemented. Which is strange when you consider that they have extended the trial from just 1 city to the whole of the north west of England. This biometric ID is very unpopular so i think it will be introduced as stealthily as possible in true New Labour style. People are already angry and this might just be a step to far. The message is: if we cant put your fingerprints, iris scans etc on our database you are not free to leave the country - effectively making a prisoner of the UK. Nice :( Reply | Quote selected text | Link to this

   And has anyone come to notice how they have begun pressuring people to give there finger prints and dna in hospitals and police centres, i went to make a statement last week “funny enough, against a violent police offical who had covered his badge’s and was assulting a friend of mine at a recent protest in brighton and they had the nerve to ask for my finger print. it was not given of course, the fact is that this is not only becoming an issue in the North west but i have been hearing far too much of it in Brighton South- East as well. they may aswell be sneaking in our bedrooms and branding us with barcodes.
