India threatens to block Google, Facebook and chums

How simple minded are you....?

Good grief! Not just a horrible racist rant against Muslims, by someone who's clearly never read beyond the title page of the Qu'ran, but by someone who is completely pig ignorant of world history too. For the record, India is predominantly Hindu, not Muslim. Didn't you do history in school then, pal? Probably too focussed on getting you NVQ in football hooliganism I expect. For the record, try Googling the partition of India. It happened in 1947, and split what was the former India under the British Empire into the modern (Hindu majority) India and the Muslim majority countries of West Pakistan and East Pakistan (which itself later turned into Bangladesh). I don't know. Sometimes I really do despair of my fellow countrymen. You'll be telling us next that the fundamental principle of Buddhism is every man for himself, I suppose.

ID card astroturf - No2ID beats the truth out of IPS

A story? Really?

Who cares anyway. Yesterday's news.

IPS turns to asylum for help with ID scheme database

WTF?

Tom is right - all PASS cards have a hologram. So how is this a cunning government conspiracy exactly?

Gov tempts young London onto ID database with booze, 'games'

Sour grapes and personal attacks

Eeeh, what is it with you lot of Victor Meldrews? You clearly hate young people and can't stand it when they do something you don't personally agree with. And then resort to your ever so charming tactic of personal attacks. Well, if Peter is fair game, so are you lot. I expect you're all donning your tea cosies, diggging out the scissors, and waiting in your dressing gowns and slippers for summer to come, so you can puncture all the footballs kids kick into your gardens. And you'll also be writing letters to the local paper to moan about the same kids wearing silly clothing or playing thier iPods too loudly on the bus, and now buying ID cards. Keep practicing that cackle guys. Soon be pension day again.

Liverpool declares itself an ID-free zone

Pilot? Nope, 'fraid not

Dunno why you keep calling it a 'pilot'. It's not. The north west is the second stage of the national rollout. To my mind calling it a 'pilot' implies it's going to be stopped and evaluated at some point. I don't see this Government saying that anywhere, do you?
