Blunkett "loyalty" card
Discussion
This man is the worse Home Secretary that has ever graced UK politics.
He was on TV Sunday lunch time sprouting utter tripe. He extolled the new Firework Bill as an example of Labours greatness. Funny in this neck of the woods nothing changed. Bloody great bangs for a week before and a week after and well after the 11pm watershed.
He has now suggested that Steetcop, Dibble etc have line bosses who know nought about policing and recruited straight from the Business Sector.
The man Is MAD.

BBC news said:For all we know, he could have meant to hold up a sample ID card and some evil bugger switched it on him.
Holding up a Nectar card, he said people voluntarily signed up to allow such details to be collected through such loyalty cards by private firms.
"There is a real issue about how that should be overseen and supervised," said Mr Blunkett.
The Blind man who leadeth the blind has never answered my question as to why I should have to pay to have a piece of plastic he wants to make compulsory.
I have a perfectly good Passport and driving licence, both of which give adequate details about me should I need to travel abroad. My Doctor holds my medical records and the RAF still hold an awful lot of information on me.
If they want to know any more about me then they can write and ask!

One of Plunkers ideas is that an ID card would reinforce other identity proofs.
So a terrorist (of which we have thousands - not) walking our streets would quiver with anxiety in the thought that he did not have an id card to reinforce all his other forged ID such as passport etc.
Yeh, right!
I choose to have a switch card for my convenience, and that is more informative to a govt. than a nectar card which is only used in a few outlets.
What a load of interfering pratts this government is.
Scary in both their plans and incompetence. Our only hope is that they will feck it up like everything else they get involved in. Trouble is, we are all paying for this gravy train.

The man is deranged. There are undoubtedly privacy issues
relating to loyalty cards, but they are VOLUNTARY. I don't recall anyone demanding I get a Nectar card, stick my biometric details on it and then charge me for the privilege!
As for ID cards combatting terrorism...worked like a charm in Spain hasn't it?

Mr Blunkett is putting his reputation on the line
(WHAT REPUTATION FFS the guys a dangerous NUTTER!!!!)
People should not distrust ID cards because they are a state idea, he said.
This is just the type of lie that the NSDAP told the germans in 1931 when they took power and look where that got them!!!
Noo Labia = socio-fascists need no less than eliminating!!!!!!

People don't distrust them "because they are a state idea". The distrust them because they distrust Bliar and Bluckwitt.
When I was in Sainsbury's last week, I was offered a loyalty card, but when I said "no thanks" the lady on the till did not threaten me, or try to fine me or arrest me.
Odd that.
Once they've wasted millions on IT consultants the system wont work anyway. Look at the new NHS booking system, spent millions on the start on the first phase of the largest multi-billion £ IT project ever in the UK and its 
ed up already. They have only just discovered that within the system, anyone with access (from receptionists through to consultants and managers) can read anyone's medical records they choose. And they wonder why we're worried about ID cards! What a bunch of useless of tw@ts we let ourselves be led by.

I have often wondered how to get in on government project IT scams.
For what is in all respects an exceptionally simple design they seem to make an awful lot of doughit up and I quite fancy a bit of that action...
Same here.
However, it's f
iking frustrating to work on these big government projects.My mate works for IBM and has just been a consultant on a new system with the DVLA so that we lucky people can buy our car tax on-line. It cost millions. Admittedly, it was quite complicated because they have to tie in the central car insurance and MOT databases. But still, he gets paid about £90k p/a and stays in the best hotels (or they rent a posh flat for him) and he travels everywhere 1st class. By the way, he's 26 and knows very little about IT - he got a masters in engineering and is a good bullshitter, they sent him on a 6 week Java course in the States and now, only a year or two later, and he's a an expert consulting on government IT projects.

not to mention the ones set off at 11.01 pm as a way of speaking to the authorities with forked fingers.
Anyone seen a reduction in prats driving about with mobiles stuck to their shell likes? Well yes albeit marginal, but a corresponding increase in prats parked in dam' silly places to answer that call.

That is something that I warned was coming some months back. Sorry to take a told you so stance.

No I don't think he is mad, extremely misguided, ill advised by his staff, and I think the fact that he is blind does actually mean that he is seriously unable to do his job properly. I know that is totally unPC but it is what I believe.
Dopy David was head of Sheffield council when I was back in S Yorks. At first when you hear him he seems impressive, good grasp of the details, articulate etc.
THEN you suss him. It's as if he has in his head a list of standard answers. When asked a question, like a juke box, brain whirs to disk X6 and starts to play. The fact he isn't answering the question but trotting out more of the Labour dogma is irrelevant it seems.
When you hand it out to them when intercepted by pavement campaigners.....

Brown and Blunkett, two most dangerous criminals in Britain.
