US Wants Access to Britain’s ID Cards
As if the introduction of ID cards in the UK wasn’t
a bad enough proposal already, The
Independent has today reported that the US wants to be able to access
these ID cards. It is a worrying development in the physical bonds
between citizens in the UK and the US government, spearheaded by Tony
Blair’s special (meaning = sycophantic) relationship with George Bush.
That this should even be considered by Britain is symptomatic of the
position that Tony Blair has placed the country in, it seems that we are
rapidly becoming the 51st state, almost solely because of the
delusional relationship of two leaders. That Tony Blair feels the need to
praise America and Bush for their moral crusade is a sign of just how out
of touch he is with reality; and that he drags Britain with him into his
personal delusions should be enough to see him face criminal proceedings.
If Tony Blair was brought before a court it could be realistic that he
could plead insanity, and be believed. For how else can he be so ignorant
of reality?
To allow the US access to Britons’ ID cards under
the sentiment that it is purely to help track terrorists, or suspected
terrorists (which nowadays means anyone) is another step towards a
totalitarian future. The line between identifying dangerous individuals,
and tracking anybody who has opposing views (dissidents) has become
dangerously - and perhaps following recent government moves (PARTIOT
ACT and Britain’s Civil
Contingencies Bill) permanently – blurred. If ID cards are
introduced, and we then have to pay £93 for the pleasure of having our
movements tracked to an even greater extent than they already our, then
Tony Blair will be taking another step towards becoming a dictator in all
but name.
