Identity Problem

Do you like the idea of identity cards? Did you know that the government is going to be claiming that you are in favour of them?

The government has been running, very quietly, a consultation process on identity, sorry entitlement cards. This has meant that the only people who have got in touch are those who were tipped off beforehand and so there has been a large response in favour. Funny that.

Now's your chance to actually be consulted. The cyber liberties group STAND have set up a web page that makes it easy to send in your own consultation to the Home Office.

The consultation ends on 31 January, and the process takes 5-10 minutes. So stop wittering on about how you are a free born Englishman and do something about it.
