STOP THIS GOVERNMENT BREATHING DOWN OUR NECKS AND SPEND THE MONEY COMBATING CRIME
Adam said: “ID cards could cost up to £20 billion to establish – with that sort of money we could have a policeman on the beat in every street in Britain”. "At the same time as this Government is planning to spend billons on an ID card system, 189 Police Community Support Officers are being cut across Kent.” “We will all have to go off to a regional centre – at our own expense to Maidstone - to get our fingerprints taken and then get charged £93 for the privilege.” “Never have we faced so much personal surveillance by a Government – and there is more on the way.” Adding his support to David Cameron’s new campaign against Labour’s plans for ID, he is very concerned that Government’s increased use of technology will start to severely undermine our freedoms, and centralise information about every detail of our personal lives. “We are moving into a world that spends more time monitoring the law-abiding citizen and less investment in catching criminals, ID cards; road pricing; centralised health records, all run on insecure and unstable computer systems, and are recipes for disaster. “ID cards are a bad idea. They will do nothing to improve the safety of our citizens. They are not the answer to the threat of terrorism, to benefit fraud, illegal immigration, human trafficking or to identity theft. They are a waste of money, and a Conservative Government will abolish them." |
