UK ID CARDS - ALL SET TO GO IN 2006 |
|
|
|
The UK Labour Party have announced that ID cards will be compulsory in the
UK by 2006. Failure to comply can result in a fine of �1000 UK pounds or
if someone submits incorrect details on their "application form" they can
be imprisoned for up to 20 years.

SO, WHAT IS LIBERTY? |
|
|
|
|
|
A definition of "liberty" is "a right, privilege or immunity enjoyed by
prescription or grant".�� An example of this could be someone allowing me
or giving me permission to walk on or access their property.
Another definition of "liberty" is "freedom from captivity, imprisonment or despotic control" or "the right or power to do as one pleases".�An
example of this could be that whether or not someone allows me or gives me permission to walk on or to access their property, I can do so anyway. |

Ah, how I love democracy in the UK.�The citizens of the UK have not been
given any referendum for these ID cards nor have they had any choice of
voting these ID cards in.�The government have said they will do it and
no-one has the right to oppose it.�Sound familiar?
"Verr are your papers? Ve vill control you! Sieg Heil!"
Hitler would have been proud of these "democratic" dictators. |

TAKING A LIBERTY |
|
|
|
|
|
So I ask this question of liberty.�Are these not contradictions of terms?
If someone has the power to give me liberties then am I not controlled by
those who give me these liberties?�Yet if I live in the "land of do as
you please" then I shouldn't need anyone to tell me where to walk or what
to do.
Liberty is just one word with many meanings and depending on which side of the fence you sit on, liberty can be defined in different ways.
On the one side of the fence, liberty is someone telling you what you can and cannot do - this is control. On the other side of the fence, liberty is the right to do what you want - this is anarchy.
I must concede this: I do not want people to have the right to murder, rape, abuse or enslave other people. Yet I would like to walk in my local community or my country without the "Boys in Black" stopping me and demanding my ID card. So, where do we draw the line? Am I sitting on the fence? I wish I knew... |

POWER CORRUPTS |
|
|
|
|
|
These ID cards have been conveniently introduced in the light of
unsubstantiated reports of a thwarted 9/11 style attack on Canary Wharf in
London. Even Peter Hain, who is the current Leader of the House, has
admitted on UK television that he neither knew or knows of any specific
terrorist threat on the UK.��He was once was a protester against
apartheid and human rights abuses but now he has publicly called for
these ID cards.� How people change when "power corrupts and absolute power
corrupts absolutely".
The Queen announced in her recent speech that we need more "security" to keep our "liberties" intact. Hang on a minute, what about our rights!? Every single living being has the right to live and the right to breathe. But that is about it. The rest of the "rights" we have been deceived with are really liberties. |

(Editor's note: A Flux of Pink Indians once released a record called Taking A Liberty. Scratched into the runout grooves were the words "Liberty cannot be given, it can only be taken" - wise words indeed.) |
