This is

as days pass by, by Stuart Langridge

. Here I write about many things. In the past I wrote about other things but the past is past. I write code for people to play with, I write about my life on Twitter, and I write here.

On I wrote ID cards in the UK, on the subject of Politics.

If you don’t agree with ID cards in the UK, would you be prepared to refuse to register for one and also donate a tenner to a legal defence fund? If so, then you should pledge to do just that at PledgeBank. They want 10000 people to sign up, and they’ve already got 3400, including me, so you won’t be alone. Ten thousand of us, all donating a tenner, will give a legal fund of a hundred grand to defend anyone they try and make an example of. According to the latest surveys, 43% of the UK think that ID cards are a bad or very bad idea. Those of you who agree or are indifferent, fine, no problem; those of you who disagree, are you prepared to put your (not much) money where your mouth is? You know it makes sense: pledge your support!

I’ve always been suspicious of the ID cards bill, simply because politicians claim they will solve every problem known to man. We know that’s bs, so what’s the real reason? And if the ywant to impose them, fine. But impose them and charge us £100 quid a throw? No way!

I signed up before I saw your post. I am opposed to them anyway (and no, I don’t have anything to hide) but the idea that people have to pay for the privilege of having one is ridiculous.
