‘Millions to rebel’ over ID cards
Robert Winnett and David Leppard

The government is predicting that some 15m people will revolt against Tony Blair’s controversial ID card scheme by refusing to produce the new cards or provide personal data on demand.

The forecast is made in documents released by the Home Office under the Freedom of Information Act. The papers show ministers expect national protests similar to the poll tax rebellions of the Thatcher era, with millions prepared to risk criminal prosecution.

Opposition MPs said the new documents proved their case that the programme would never work. David Davis, the shadow home secretary, said: “This will cripple the system. Fifteen million is a massive number. What the Home Office is accepting in private, but refuses to accept in public, is that a massive number of ordinary law-abiding citizens simply will not go along with their scheme.”

Davis, whose party’s policy is to scrap the cards, added: “This will render it completely useless as a security or check mechanism of any sort.”

Imagine that- 15 million in the UK. That would mean about 75 million here in "The Homeland" if they had the courage to refuse REAL ID- are you ready? Do you know what's at stake? Fascism falls so softly from the lips and gets to be so hard in our lives.

Every cry is a song.

And every song is a prayer.

They'd just say "piss off" next time they're asked
