Identity Cards Bill

According to the Bill, we will volunteer to have our names on the register; it is all voluntary until the Government make it compulsory. They will make it compulsory within the foreseeable future, so that by the end of the decade we shall all have to fill in those forms, give those details and get our identity card. That will mean, no doubt, that we shall have to give it up on demand by a person who will be authorised to do so. It is just a step in a process to ensure that the state has complete control over our lives.
