Take Part in NO2ID's Big Opt Out
November 23, 2006 11:48 AM
A national launch of a campaign by the pressure group NO2ID is taking place at Imperial College in South Kensington on Wednesday 29th November.
The event is free and open to all. Sir Malcolm Rifkind (Conservative MP), Henry Porter and Professor Ross Anderson are on the panel. We would urge Liberal Democrats to attend because the Liberal Democrats have consistently led opposition to the ID cards scheme in the Commons, the Lords and beyond.
The Identity Cards Act 2006 is law, and must be repealed, but meanwhile the government is already working on extending its scope, through "information sharing" across the public sector and an "Identity Management Action Plan" to be produced by the end of this year.
What new threats does this offer to personal liberty? How can the slide to the database state be halted? These are some of the questions that will be addressed at the launch of the "The Big Opt Out" campaign.
