Only getting half a story
Park Road, Todmorden.
IN recent days residents of Todmorden have received a letter from the Home Office, Identity and Passport Service, recommending that they apply for an ID card and outlining all the so-called benefits.
But readers of the Todmorden News should be warned. The Government is telling them only half the story.
What they don’t tell you is that you will be signing up for a lifetime of fees and penalties, compulsory fingerprinting and lifelong surveillance and data trafficking. Once you’re on the ID database you never get off. Why risk it?
And even if the issue of your civil liberties doesn’t bother you that much, just consider the outrageous cost of this scheme.
The agency in charge is spending about 230,000 a day in making its giant database the hub of government activity.

Don’t be conned!
