Luckily, not below everyone's radar

While I've been concentrating on matters Ukrainian for Fistful recently, there has been other stuff going on in the world, most notably the Goverment publishing their ID cards bill. Luckily, other people have been keeping their eye on the issue, so go see the Yorkshire Ranter, Spyblog, No2ID and John Band for more. Remember, though, that ID cards are another reason to be proud of Britain.

It's also interesting to note that because ID cards are so wonderful, because they'll solve all problems, because there's no reason why anyone should want to not have one (the preceding 22 words were sponsored by David Blunkett) that the Government will fine you £2500 if you don't have one. Or if you forget to renew it, or just neglect to tell your local commissar that you're moving, that'll be another £1000 please, citizen. Guess I'll be seeing some of you in the special prisons they'll have to build for ID card protestors in a few years time. All that construction work will be good for the economy, though.
