ID Card Prop-Agenda

A nice little piece the Beeb have included in their 'news' reporting - about how people in the UK face, on average, 11 demands for proof of identity per year.

How cynical of you to wonder if is this has been fed to the Beeb, by the government, as part of the softening-up process for the authoritarian ID Card/Registry scheme! Shame on you for thinking that the only thing missing from the piece is a statement from the government saying that ID cards would make the process so much easier for the busy, time-poor hard-working single parent/tax-payer/houswife/young family/pensioner ...

The government is your friend! They're not waging a propaganda war with their electorate in order to achieve their own goals!

I can't believe you're so untrusting.
