Chris Lightfoot has some comments on the ID Cards Bill, which should help to put to rest the idea that this Goverment is composed of anything other than crazed authoritarians determined to not only force us all to register everything but our inside leg measurements on a national database and make us all effectively have to carry an ID card at all times but also want to make us pay for the supposed privilege. And if anyone even tries to use the 'if you've got nothing to hide, there's nothing to fear' non-argument, I'm going to personally sign them up to have every room in their house wired up with CCTV cameras, along with a camera crew to follow and film everything they do when outside the house. After all, if they're such morally upright citizens they shouldn't mind having their every (waking or not) moment filmed to be displayed at a time and place decided by me for the edification of our fellow citizens.

You should all join NO2ID, you know. Or at the very least read the FAQ about the Bill and sign the petition.

Unlike Chris, I don't have to put a holiday picture at the end of this post, but you can click here for a nice picture of Great Gable looking a bit like Deep Thought.
