Wait 'til you've got your ID card matey, those trivial little annoyances
will
be the least of your worries :-/

Nah, there's nothing on the ID card that 15 seconds on high in the
nuker won't fix :-)

Ok, VOT but:
The card is the tip of the iceberg, think more about:

Failure to attend an interview at a specified place and time
Failure to provide information demanded by the government
Failure to submit to fingerprinting
Failure to notify the Secretary of State of any change in personal
circumstances (including change of address)
Failure to notify authorities about a lost, stolen, damaged or
defective card
Failure to renew a card

Penalties range from £1,000 fine to two years imprisonment.

1984 + 21 = 2005, ooh, George Orwell has come of age :-/

Right down to the television cameras watching the streets of our towns and
motorists!

What we need is a political group with the determination to cut state
interference with our lives not the present crews ever increasing intrusion
