Unite to Press Employers on Government Powers to Raid Homes of Employees Working on ID Card Programme:
Thanks for the link. This bit sums it up for me:
Peter Skyte, National Officer of Unite, said:
"It is sadly ironic that a system purportedly being established to protect human rights and civil liberties is itself responsible for destroying those rights and liberties." Says it all!
The thing is we are only just starting to see an awakening from Unite. We need to start a national campaign beginning with ID, and I truly believe this will happen now.
Are we to blithely accept the inevitability of a National ID database replete with personal details, DNA samples, mobile phone and internet logs etc? We're being led towards a society with surveillance every bit as insidious as that of communist china.
Unite will not be able to ignore the growing grass roots opposition to this. Bring the fight on!
