BIOMETRIC ID CARDS

Tony Goddard | 13-11-2003 17:32 | Sheffield

David Blunkett wants us all to have biometric ID cards. The question
has become an issue for law 'n order politicians to gain their macho
credentials. David Blunkett and Tony Blair can stand in the pantheon of

Bas, the blind Saudi cleric who condemned a woman to death for marrying
outside family and John Ashcroft who holds prayer breakfasts for his
acolytes in the USA department of Justice.

Stop Bush! Upcoming demos.
