Gordy’s lot are trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the British public about the ID database. Even members of the naïve “if you’ve got nothing to hide” brigade are starting to realise exactly how far-reaching this legislation is. Gordy and his cronies have to realise that they work for us - we are not owned by him! 

ID cards WILL BE COMPULSORY.
The Identity Cards Act 2006 lets the Home Office “designate” any official document. Individuals applying for a “designated document” MUST ALSO apply to be entered onto the National Identity Register, or provide evidence that they are already on it [4]. The plan is you will be forced to “volunteer”. Unless Home Office plans have secretly changed, this will (from a date not yet fixed) include everyone applying for a passport, followed (according to ministerial statements) by everyone subject to CRB check, including teachers, medical staff, security guards and carers. Once on the Register, you cannot leave, and must *compulsorily* notify officials of all changes in ‘registrable facts’ about you in those 50 categories.
