MPs back identity card proposals

Government plans to force all passport applicants to get an identity card have been backed by MPs, overturning an earlier defeat in the House of Lords. Peers have twice defeated the plans, which they say break Labour’s election promise that the initial ID scheme would be voluntary.

But Home Secretary Charles Clarke said passports were “voluntary documents” that no-one was forced to renew.

The Identity Cards Bill will return to the House of Lords on Wednesday.

The vote, which Labour won by 310 votes to 277, sets the stage for a constitutional clash between the Commons and the Lords. […]

Charles Clarke is a beast of a man. He knows you cannot travel on an expired passport. He knows that if you loose your passport, that you must replace it if you want to travel.

This is a perfect example of how ID cards will be used to control you. You are not obliged to have one, but if you refuse, you cannot open a bank account, post a package, travel on the underground with a pass, etc etc.

This is pure evil, and this statement about passports being voluntary documents just shows how evil the whole proposal is. It is based on lies at its very foundation, and lies are being used to force through its introduction.

This is why people say that democracy is broken; with monsters, murderers, liars and enslavers at the helm every single time, no one in their right mind thinks that democracy in its current form is a good thing.
