No to ID cards
THE reports of NHS paper records lost in Holloway Road reminds us how important it is for the Government to keep our data safe; and not to collect more information than they really need in the first place.
The House of Lords has voted on more regulations for the ID card scheme. While spin doctors try to convince us that ID cards have been dropped, the truth is that the Government is still pushing them.
Opposition MPs united to table a Parliamentary debate calling for the ID card scheme to be scrapped. Unlike the other parties, every Liberal Democrat MP is pledged to oppose ID cards. The issue has divided Islington Labour. Islington North MP Jeremy Corbyn voted with the Liberal Democrats; but Emily Thornberry, the MP for Islington South and Finsbury, lined up with the Government. I believe ID cards are expensive, intrusive and do nothing to make us safer. It's time to say no to ID. - Bridget Fox, Prospective Parliamentary Candidate, Liberal Democrat, Islington South & Finsbury, Morton Road, N1.
