Where ID Cards And National Identity Registers Can Lead Us

The day after Guy Fawkes Night here in Britain, where we as a nation celebrate the failed destruction of Britain's parliament. In the same building that Guido Fawkes tried to destroy, the Prime Minister Tony Blair goes on the offensive in supporting the ID card scheme, the mass DNA and Identity registers of every person here in the UK.History though can teach us in stark contrast what such schemes as ID cards and databases can achieve, the two simple examples are of course Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany but many people do not believe or understand the latter and how it was the introduction of such schemes that accelerated the demise of not only the Jews under the Reich but Gypsies, criminals, the mentally ill, Jehovah's Witnesses, in essence anybody that the Nazi state did not approve of.
