Identity Fraud: It's comparatively nothing

We've heard lots and lots through the media about the problem of identity fraud in recent years.

In fact, one of the lame ass excuses New Labour (shudder) gave in attempting to legitimise compulsory biometric identity cards was the urgent need (apparently) to do something about this huge crisis (apparently) of identity fraud.

I've just switched on the BBC News channel to be told that: "...a study just completed by the National Fraud Authority and the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau [...] puts the annual cost of identity fraud at over £2.7bn."

The ENTIRE thing. For the entire country. For a year. £2.7bn.

I lose track of what it's been pushed up to now, but in March, the Daily Telegraph revealed that: "Figures contained in Treasury documents published alongside the Budget show Britain is projected to hand over £6.4billion [for membership of the European Empire] this year, and £7.6billion in 2010/11."

Cost of identity fraud - £2.7bn
Cost of European Empire membership - £7.6bn

So we could TREBLE the number of identity fraud crimes in the country and it STILL would be cheaper than our membership of the undemocratic European Empire that we have treacherously been signed up to.

Just offering some helpful perspective.
