Oh dear. No sleep for people in our major towns and cities tonight, then!
The frantic sounds of ethnic drumming and shouts of laughter as millions of
illegal immigrants celebrate their good fortune will reverberate until the
early hours.......

Why do you imagine it'll make any difference to illegal immigration?

Doesn't follow at all ... ID cards would have been forged (if they
haven't already been) and of course produce valid ID and folks stop
asking questions ... no ID and people like the police ask questions
until they're happy with the answers.

It was one policy which , although unpalatable, might have helped rid the
country of the illegal immigrant infestation.
It's quite in keeping with Nick Cameron's Euro-worship that they would put
an immediate halt on something that might (possibly) have helped the UK
retain its identity.
This pair of traitors hate Britain - as will become clear in the coming

How exactly would it achieve that?
William Black
You honestly believed that:
1. People in the UK would submit to a 'stop and search' procedure? I
certainly wouldn't. I am a freeborn Englishman going about my lawful
business and you better have a bloody good reason for stopping me and
demanding to see my papers.
2. That clever people couldn't copy the thing closely enough to fool a
copper doing a document spot check on a cold evening?
3. That distinguished members of the ethnic community wouldn't put
themselves out by refusing to carry such ID cards and then insisting on
wandering at random in areas where the police carried out the document
checks in order to see if the checking policy was being implemented in a
racist manner?
How many ethnic minority QCs and politicians do you want to see arrested
in an evening in Stratford?
How many irate phone calls from the Home Secretary do you think a Chief
Constable will tolerate before he tells his men to stop doing random
checks on the ID cards of brown people?
<the correct answer is '1'>
The fact is that about 10% of the UK population is from the ethnic
minorities, about 6% are foreign born (we don't actually know the
current figures, those are estimates, the last census was 9 years ago)
and they now constitute a group that has substantial political
influence, albeit a level of influence far below what those numbers
seem to indicate.
Realistically about 65 MPs in the new HoC should be from the ethnic
minorities and the reality is that it's about 20.

Yes, because "illegals" won't every disappear underground where identity
checks are not made. This is the same falsehood as "ID cards will
prevent terrorism" when the most notorious terrorists of recent years
did nothing to hide their true identity.

The UK lost its identity as soon as Blair started eroding the civil
liberties of the common man to go about his business unhindered that the
British have been admired for for so long.

While not perfect, it would at least have been a start - and the cards could

No card, off to a detention centre, then off somewhere far away from
Britain.
Personally, I'd put up with checkpoints on every street if it meant
eradicating the illegal immigrant pestilence that has taken root here.
Nick Cameron's opposition is not rooted in a lust for civil liberties -

My answer would be, 'As many brown people not carrying identity cards as

I'd issue unofficial quotas - making it a matter of pride to see which
squad could round up the most brown people in an evening.
I'm a free born Englishman - and, as such, I don't want to see illegal
immigrants (or, for that matter, legal immigrants) in my country.
No card - on the boat!, whether you're a brown QC, or a brown chapatti

Ah, the best ally that the anti-BNP forces had was one Nicholas Griffin, a
man with sticky fingers, and a gargantuan appetite for spending.
However, what would happen if a Nationalist party arose which was led by a
man of principle?, a man who couldn't be bought?. a man who sought only to
promote the welfare of his race and country?
They'd have to kill him, I suppose - for such a man would have tremendous
popular appeal.

Unless I badly miscalculated the voting statistics (and it certainly
won't be reported!), it would seem that (other than the Tories) the
BNP took the largest increase in voter numbers.

They fielded a lot more candidates this time so the amount of any
increase in support isn't as easy to quantify as just quoting raw
numbers.

Back door ID cards
I have already asked tory canvassers what they are doing to remove the
'need' for ID cards. Couldn't get an answer from them. But here is an
instance to come into law where an ID card is mandatory for an adult
attempting to purchase alcohol.
http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2010/uksi_20100860_en_1
"4.�(1) The premises licence holder or club premises certificate
holder shall ensure that an age verification policy applies to the
premises in relation to the sale or supply of alcohol.
(2) The policy must require individuals who appear to the responsible
person to be under 18 years of age (or such older age as may be
specified in the policy) to produce on request, before being served
alcohol, identification bearing their photograph, date of birth and a
holographic mark."

Crunching the numbers - they put up candidates in 338 seats, and in
those, had an average share of 3.7%.
In 2005 they put up candidates in 119 seats, and in those, had an
average share of 4.2%.
Given that this time they wouldn't have been cherry-picking the seats
they thought most promising, it's hard to say whether this represents a
genuine decline in support though.

Urm, the police do have stop and search powers and have been using them
regularly for years.
James Hammerton
You're effectively saying you'd put up with a police state.
ISTM that for an id card system to be effective at dealing with illegal
immigration you'd need to give the police the power to randomly demand
the ID card and make it an offence to be out in public without the ID
card(*). That is a 'cure' that is worse than the original problem IMV.
Labour's scheme was about setting up a system of surveillance with a
large chunk of people's movements and activities being tracked via the
scheme. The bits of plastic were simply part of the infrastructure for
this surveillance.
As for the effectiveness of ID cards in tackling illegal immigration,
many European countries have compulsory cards and they don't seem to
have prevented illegal immigration surfacing there.
(*) the Identity Cards Act 2006 specifically ruled out making it an
offence for people not to carry the card.

More than that, he was closer to saying he'd *welcome* one!
Apologies for re-awakening a week old thread but I only check this group
periodically.
Via my work, I come into contact with a couple of quite wide ranges of
'normal citizens' - Low-middle income semi computer literate, higher
income, computer illiterate wanting computerised offices, middle income
wanting a secure home network. Allsorts of folk with the only 'filter'
being a high enough IQ to understand the importance of cpu-based
technology.
Within each of those I've heard praise and recommendation for Polish and
other European workers. They've acquired a reputation for being harder
working and often more reasonable on their pay than your average British
plumber/plasterer/joiner/odd-job/bod. Also generally seen as honest and
reliable and quite a good bet if you're a little infirm.
So, in order to get rid of these workers the fellow you quote would
apparently be delighted to have every move spied upon, tracked and
effectively recorded for any big business that cares to do a quick grep or
any future government deparment that includes him in some category of
'special attention'.
He'd also welcome regular police enforcement of the carrying of the token
of this tracking.

Even right at the beginning 90 percent of anything you did that involved
any state organisation would have been fed into the database, a large
proportion of your financial comings and goings would also have been
ascertainable from the records. And that was only at the *start* before
edgeing it gradually further and further into our lives.

One of the few ways I envy the American legal system is the constitutional
basis behind the laws they pass and the way the constitutional framework
allows courts to effectively cancel laws that go against it.
We have no such thing. You can happily say it's barred for it to ever be
made an offence to not carry the card and it may well be true on paper,
but there are already offences with which you can be charged if you fail
to provide a copper with reasonable proof of who you are, on demand. This
is most especially true if they can't find a record of the
name/address/dob combination you give if stopped.
So, empirically, it is *already* an offence to not carry an identity card.
The fact that there are other alternative ways to 'prove' (convince a
copper of the truth of) your data-base-number is beside the point; most
people would *choose* to carry either the card or a driving licence if
they habitually wander around the wrong areas with the wrong kind of car
or the wrong clothes or the wrong skin colour. Especially while inside the
wrong age-group.
Something I've noticed as I've passed thirty and then fourty is that one's
age makes quite a difference to the likelyhood of a
stop/search/identity-demand. This means that those who're old enough to
get up and do something about it, old enough to be bothered voting and old
enough to be listened to, are reasonably exempt from the persecution
dished out to the younger members of the community.
