Intelligent stuff and educational too ! Its a fact that the id card seeks to put everyone in debt to the government. You are issued a card by the government to prove you are a citizen and to show that you have a stake in this country. The fact is it is a way to make you submit to the idea that they have the right to interfere in the lives of those who carry them and to interefere if you dont carry one - its not an ID card its a submission card - you submit your freedom to their authority. They can spy on you - you cannot spy on them ! the information and power flows only in one direction - from those who issue the card - to those who recieve it ! in that way THEY OWN YOU - Go ask any police officer to see his identity and they will think you are taking the piss ! now go to parliament and demand to see blairs identity card and they will arrest you. Any of those people that work for the state have the right to demand your id card but even if you have the right to see theirs - merely asking for that will get you in serious trouble - I tried it with a cop once and he said I was taking the piss and to "fuck off" and stop wasting his time - said all I needed to know was his numbers on his jacket That aint good enough for me - I want a scanner where I can scan their ID What about in Brazil where - before you access the internet you will soon have to use your id card and have it scanned into the computer - true !!! now you tell me that they wont do that here !!! and I will tell you differently very differently !
Well i hate early mornings so i think you are safe. Well we shall see. When i have a little bit more time to look into it - i will. It just seems from the info in my earlier link - that broom handle is being greased [if you know what i mean]. Well viva le resistance - and all that - it does seem you lot are a little more vocal - but maybe it is cliched to think French are better at group resistance than many other countries - again i'm going to have to look into it more. In any case i like your attitude. I think i must have some French blood in me . We shall see.
What were you doing at the time ? - i think you may have found a very rude officer - if they were willing to tell you to ''fuck off'' it seems they were never likely to be helpful. I'd have taken his No. [that is pretty much all you need anyway] and reported them to their superior. I'm going to give it a go today [ask to see their ID card]. I'll explain my rationale though first. That might prevent me from being told to fuck off *giggle*. Is that the same as in the Czech Republic where you enter your ID card into a device before you can see information about you. Such as goverment records [websites] and who has looked at your data [goverment workers] ?. That is a good idea. I think i saw Charles Clarke on tv - talking about it. I doubt we will have to do that for simply 'surfing the net'. http://ec.europa.eu/idabc/en/document/5850/389
Aint it! You mean out of all the names in the world, you picked Joaquin. Even when you could have had something different like, John or Paul or Simon? My name isn't really Ber-Limey, either. It's Love.
Oh man, I totally should have gone with Simon! Dontcha think it's the best name, y'know, ever? Totally lateral. Dude. I love the name Love, cos you're lovely.
We were pasting posters on a wall to advertise a band I was involved with. Him and his mate were being a bit shit to us about it - and told us to throw the paste away and ditch the bucket and brush - but I said I would pour the paste away but the bucket was going with me - but he chucked em over a fence into a builders yard - so I said I didnt believe he was a cop - and wanted to see his identity papers - but he said he werent even gonna let me take his number and if I did - he would arrest me. What can you do though ? I mean I didnt want to get arrested and I got the brush and bucket back the next day. No I am talking about the fact that in Brazil the government is bringing in a law where you cannot surf unless you type your name and social security number onto a logon page of somekind or have a card read into a scanner - Absolutely true but I cant be bothered to dig up the info for you right now.
Joaquin have you actually got anything relevent to say or you just gonna keep writing that shit all over these forums - and the others that are just writing irrelevent shit about nothing to do with id cards
I see - so maybe if you were not doing something illegal - you might have got that copper in a better mood. :H I see. It is alright - when i have some more time i'll find it. I only have about 20 minutes net time - a day - now.
I think that another point to recap on is that the ID card which they want to introduce in the UK is an entirely different kettle of fish to the ones in circulation over the rest of the EEC. A further point is this: Some people haven't really paid much thought to the consequences, and it is really sad considering the amount of effort put into research to inform us. Several times I have seen the following comment by people in here: "I've got nothing to hide. I'm not worried." This is a very naive comment. Your medical details are going to be put in a database and every government department and his dog are going to have access to it! Oh, but you haven't done nothing! So why should you be worried? But in your naive life, touch wood, later on you might contract something, such as AIDS, hepatitis, syphillis, gonorrhea, etc. You might have had an addiction which may prove embarassing in a future career, and here we come to the CRUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...... A doctor is bound by the Hipocratic oath to keep sensitive data about your health... wait for it... C O N F I D E N T I A L. Make a note of that word, because one day it will not appear in your dictionary any longer. Not as far as your private life is concerned, anyway. Oh, but I forgot. All you angels out there have nothing to hide. Of course. And in the years to come when you reach that grand age of 40, and you find yourself sitting in an office, desperate after many years to find a job, the interviewer will find many interesting things about you on your database that will not only contain what you may or may not have (disease-wise, but also what you are likely to catch, and when you are most likely to kick the bucket/die/expire due to the DNA fingerprint which is also part of the UK ID card format proposal. Yes, you have nothing to hide folks. Most of you are good, simple people, and your minds probably don't delve to what your lovely democratic government is capable of, but to them your details are the same as blood to a vampire.
That is ABSOLUTELY true White Scorpion, and the fact of the matter is that anyone who works for a company where they insist on a medical examination before employing you will have access to ALL the data about you. Its all becoming rather a sads fact of life that you are all going to sacrifice a great deal of privacy for the comfort of knowing that whatever happens you will at least not be blown to peices by a terrorist with a genuine ID card - or will you?? Oh yeah and I forgot - maybe you will reflect one day on just how life could have been different if only the local bobby in your rural town didnt know all your medical history, employment history, as well as the amount you earn and all the places you used the card when visiting other towns - from this the police and your employers will be able to virtually blackmail you into accepting whatever it is theyre offering. You ask for more money - they call into question your fitness - dont believe that isnt what will happen - its a rough world - You want your employer to give you promotion - well you pay your own medical insurance to pay for the extra risk premiums out of your own wages etc etc etc You threaten to blow the whistle on their unfair trading practices - they threaten to tell everyone how you once got caught drink driving or something worse - this isnt about protecting you its about snooping on you and keeping you in your place ! hows that for nice and secure - and if you havent done anything wrong - well you try getting a mortgage in the future without signing away your entire life history with that card ! so you really do want everyone from the bank teller to the police and the doctor AND your employer - all sharing the same information? There wont be any one of you in your 50's able to look em in the eye before turning your head away because they will have you by the short and curlies. and what will you know of them???? why is that information all about the state and employers and banks?????? If they got shit to sling at you - boy o boy will they fire that to make sure you dont go on no peace rally soon ! I see you were in London on Saturday - not protesting against the party (of which my son is a politician) well I'm afraid you lose your job! Dont think it can happen ????- I know people who lost their jobs in Bournemouth in the 80's because the boss was a tory and he found out he was employing some labour voters - yes illegal but who could do shit about it?
Well, the latest news is that the Royal Bank of Scotland has given a mandate for all its employees to use ONLY their bank. BTW for those who are in any way numerate, RBS also own NatWest. Have a look here i'm not shitting you. So any of you that have your wits with you, put your |Sherlock hat on and start working out where this jigsaw puzzle is heading. Hmm?
In actual fact they will soon find that is totally illegal and was outlawed some time during the 1930's when some companies insisted that every employee should have to buy some of the companies products from their wages each week. The unions threatened a strike and the government outlawed the practice because other people too, such as farmers were getting people to work on their land and then insisting that the workers stay on the land and buy food out of their wages whilst camped there. The idea that a company can force you to use their products is totally illegal whether you work for them or not. Its called wage slavery and is actually a serious offence. there have been retailers who sacked staff for not buying the clothes they sell each week - and workers who are told they wont get jobs unless a quarter of their wage is spent buying company produce HA HA HA the same blind ignorance that will lead to ID cards saw off the unions that would have stopped these criminals in the boardrooms from getting away with this This is some shit I dont understand because any lawyer worth calling a lawyer will stop that action pretty quick. However you are right - the employers have dreamt of a scenario in which the workers are forced to accept their terms of employment with little or no recourse to law - ever since thatcher was in power the employers have made it a stated aim to put industrial relations back to the state they were before the unions built their power base during the 1920's - you will find this government and successive government only wants you here if they can use you and if they cant use you - you starve !!! simple as that - poverty is a thing of the future aided by employers who have pushed for the id card since the 1940's as a way to control the workforce and force out those who oppose their ideas of employment contracts. http://www.passionsaving.com/wage-slavery.html
The Royal Bank of Scotland said it told its employees of these plans when they signed their contracts. The unions will not allow this and neither will the courts but how does that all relate to ID cards anyway?
simple really, you carry a card, and your employer can instanly access EVERY single bit of data on you that the state keeps, medical, criminal, work history, and other important data - well suppose you dont want them to know? These people have the power, now, to blackmail you into accepting their conditions
that is really dangerous no wonder you are trying to stop this. All those goverment departments are going to share data on you nothing about you will be safe
Dooooods I have just seen this and its really related to id cards and gordon brown The whole article is fucking teriffic, do any of the lamers in this uk forum care about this single most important issue or is their real concern to actually act as dumb as everyone knows they are? what the fuck are people in the UK actually doing, kind of makes me think their apathy is borne of ignorance and lack of education rather than a dismissal of the issues importance EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS ITS GREAT ! http://www.publictechnology.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=4449 GORDON BROWN IS A BIG RED COCK !!! AND I'M GONNA SHOOT HIS BALLS OFF IN THIS THREAD
