NO2ID

My wife and I are vehemently against the proposed Identity Card Scheme, the cards are intrusive enough but the database behind The National Identity Register is truely frightening to anyone who places the smallest value on civil liberties. As we are members of No2ID we have elected to spend some time collecting petitions to tell our masters we do not agree and will resist. This is democracy at work in our modern times where the political parties are side-stepped and out-paced by single issue pressure groups NO2ID will achieve much more than the equivilant energy spent inside any of our political parties.

For four hours we stood in Yarm High Street in wonderful sunny weather acosting pedestrians, distributing our leaflets and arguing the toss. I'm pleased to say that we got 75 people to sign our petition and I think that was a good show for a first effort on our part.

Of course having shown the slightest interest in doing anything I find I am now the local organiser for NO2ID in Stockton on Tees, well that's how these things work, so I'll give it a go.
