ZaNuLiebour - Same Old Danger

Fallen former 'Fräulein' Jacqui Smith's take on the V2 rocket - the compulsory biometric identity card - which she planned and pushed to use to control the population of Britain has suffered a supposed kick in the proverbials today.

Her replacement, Alan Johnson, has announced that ID cards will no longer be compulsory for airport workers and will instead be voluntary.

Some civil liberty-minded blogs are celebrating this as a signal that the hated proposed cards are dead and consigned to the dustbin.

But just before reaching for the Cava and celebrating (no one can afford Champagne in Gormless Buffoon's Britain)... mind the gap!

For this looks to be another example of electioneering double speak.

They KNOW we hate ZaNuLiebour for their wilful destruction of the liberties that we have valued in this once proud nation.

So, announce the removal of compulsion for a small group of people and a few wavering sheeple who might have deserted ZaNuLiebour for fear of their civil liberties might be loony enough to vote for them. Again.

However, watch out for the double-speak.

Yes, nothing is ever as it seems. For, in the same breath, we learn that plans for the roll-out of the 'voluntary' scheme are to be accelerated. It's not just Manchester they have in their sights - apparently Londoners are going to be gifted the chance to 'choose' to get one from next year.

We haven't got a crystal ball. And we can't read tea leaves. But we can see where this is headed.

Next thing you know, they'll target bars and clubs and accuse them of serving to people under-age, fining bar owners and shopkeepers and threatening to close them down.

So, shopkeepers and bar owners will only serve alcohol and cigarettes to people who can prove their age with... a 'voluntary' biometric identity card. Then it will be access to the National Health Service, access to Social Security... come on, it's glaringly obvious why they want to speed up a 'voluntary' scheme and how they'll still try to get their own very wicked way.

It's the same old ZaNuLiebour and the same old danger - whether Jacqui Smith still wears the jackboots or not.

The only way to ensure that our civil liberties are not eroded further is to vote for anyone but Labour. Yes, anyone. And oi! uneducated oaf at the back - putting an 'X' into a box next to the Labour candidate does not indicate you do not want them to win... sigh.

The Conservative Party recently warned companies wanting to make a big buck or six million from the ruination of our civil liberties not to bother investing in enslavement, as they plan to scrap the dreadful identity card scheme completely.

We love the BBC report on this. They state that "[s]ome 3,500 UK citizens have already applied for the cards".

And? Hundreds of thousands of British people voluntarily bought "classics" like Whigfield's 'Saturday Night', Aqua's 'Barbie Girl' and 'Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini' by Bombalurina and Timmy Mallett.

Just because lots of people do something doesn't make it right. Take voting for Labour as an example...

One of the private citizens who was hoping to drag Jacqui Smith into court, Anthony Weaver, has dropped his bid to bring her to book over her expense claims. Speaking of the decision, Weaver states that he could not meet the costs of ongoing legal action against the former Home Secretary.

Come on everyone - send him a tenner already...
