Authoritarian Rule Britannia

Authoritarian Rule Britannia
As government pushes Britain towards surveillance police state the next Prime Minister lauds over glorious heritage of freedom
Steve Watson | February 14 2006

The nations not so blest as thee,
Shall in their turns to tyrants fall;
While thou shalt flourish great and free,
The dread and envy of them all.

Rule Britannia!
Britannia rule the waves.
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.
Thomas Augustine Arne, 1740

Britain is currently teetering on the brink of a huge political shift. As far as the Blair era has gone in transforming this country into a paranoid, uncommunicative, culturally starved, spin controlled Orwellian style authoritarian state, things are about to be taken to a whole new level.

Yesterday was a brutal indicator of what Britons should expect politically over the next decade, with a crucial vote on ID legislation and a key speech by the next leader in waiting, Gordon Brown.

As the current British government is now the key Ally of the Straussian killing machine that has usurped control over the American people, I urge true patriotic Americans to take a look now at what is happening here over the pond and heed this warning from a concerned patriotic Briton seeing his country further usurped by tyrannical bureaucrats.

COMULSARY ID CARDS

The Government was accused last night of planning "backdoor compulsion" for identity cards despite promising MPs that fresh legislation would have to be introduced first.

MPs also voted, by a majority of 51, in favour of making it compulsory as of 2008 for citizens to register their personal and biometric details on the National Identity Register, when applying for or renewing "designated" documents such as a passport. This rejected a House of Lords amendment to make ID card take-up voluntary when people get a new passport.

Last month we told you that this would happen, even though the mainstream media was running with the headlines "DEFEAT FOR GOVERNMENT ON ID CARDS".

This basically equates to not only ENFORCED ID card carrying, but also a government owned biometric database, containing scans of everyone's fingerprints and Iris patterns.

The Identity Cards Bill also gives the Home Secretary the power to make regulations under which, in future, access to public services will be conditional on producing an ID card.

In this sense the ID card will quickly become compulsory when the people of Britain discover that access to anything from medical care to public transport will be impossible without your biometric card.

Shadow home secretary David Davis described the scheme as one of "covert and creeping compulsion"

The ID card along with the database represent a major shift into the police state here in Britain. Five years ago people were saying Britons would never allow ID cards to become a reality, now they ARE reality. the government is putting them through slowly slowly, piece by piece in a stepping stone fashion because they know if they made it clear what they were doing, the vast majority of people in this country would be up in arms.

A BBC poll yesterday indicated that 75% oppose UK ID Cards on security grounds.

We have previously exposed how the government told us that the ID card would make our information more secure, yet they propose paying for it by selling the information of 44 million British citizens to private companies. How secure is that?

ID cards will not stop terrorism. Even the Home Secretary Charles Clarke admitted it after the London bombings.

In Tower Hamlets (London), which is one of the most deprived areas in the country and also the place with the most surveilance cameras on the planet, they are about to start a scheme wherein cable TV viewers living in the borough can subscribe (for a small fee) in order to tune into the surveillance cameras. Viewers will then have the ability to vote for ASBOs for people (anti-social behaviour orders) by pressing a red button on their remote control. Now that's fucked up.

Our "friendly" government might already have ideas about this sort of thing.
Thank the sheeple for following their "shepperd to the slaughter house of sorts.
