Own up or face a £1,000 ID fine By Philip Johnston, Home Affairs Editor (Filed: 30/11/2004)

People who fail to tell the Government when they move home will face a fine of up to £1,000 when the new ID card is phased in from 2008.

Legislation for the first compulsory identity scheme for 50 years, published yesterday, contains a system of civil penalties for a range of offences, including a refusal to register - which carries a £2,500 fine - and not notifying the authorities of changes in name or address.

David Blunkett and Des Browne at the Home Office yesterday As well as civil penalties, there will be tough criminal penalties for misusing or seeking to forge an ID card, with anyone found guilty of tampering with a document risking up to 10 years in prison. Anyone involved in ID card administration who improperly discloses information will face two years.

Who says Hillary isn't the anti Christ and bill the puppet on the strings? Am I just an out of my gourd Right Wing Basket Case? Or dose this sound plausible?

It's so plausible that I wrote a fictional article about it once.

I don't think it's the Clintons. I do however see someone like George Soros as having the potential to be such a puppet master. Who the puppet will be? I have no idea.

Retinal scans now.
It's all for our protection of course.

This is going in a bad direction.


THIS IMPLANT IS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!

It is against the law not comply.
Why did you take out that book on tropical plants at the library in 1998?
Where is that little daughter of yours... isn't it time she gets implanted?

They killed Race Bannon on The Venture Bros.

[RaceBannon]

The Who?

He'd be 80 years old now anyways...

[Bogey78O]

The Venture Bros is an Adult Swim cartoon on Comedy Central. Race had just taken on a plane full of snakemen trying to get back the Golem serum. He tossed a grenade and bailed out only to be hit by the wing of the plane as it spiraled down.

Little children found the body and played with all of his gizmos.

Meanwhile you can lie through your teeth as a politician and there is no consequence. Go figure....

Forging identification should be fined.

I don't want ANYONE forging an ID with MY name on it.
