Manchester area post codes where the foolish can apply for an ID Card

,----[ Quote ]
| They have also broadened the potential 
| catchment area, by including not just 
| permanent residents, but anyone who works at 
| premises within the designated Post Codes as 
| well.
| 
| However you will already have to have a 
| Passport in order to apply for an ID Card, 
| so what exactly is the incentive for doing 
| so ?
| 
| Remember also, that once you have been 
| registered on the National Identity Register 
| , your biometrics and other personal data 
| will never be removed, for the rest of your 
| life (and beyond), even if you decide not to 
| renew your ID Card.

Interview with Richard M. Stallman

,----[ Quote ]
| It is important to know this because we will always face pressure, from those 
| who are powerful and would like to take away our freedom, to surrender our 
| freedomâand they frequently offer us something attractive in exchange. For 
| instance, Bâliar wanted to abolish the Rights of Englishmen, and to serve his 
| American master, Bush, faithfully; so he offered Britons âprotectionâ from 
| this or that, plus the imagined idea that he influences his master on their 
| behalf through the âspecial relationshipâ.
