I'm not surprised that England (the land of socialized medicine, gun bans, CCTV cameras, de-facto Godless Anglicans, Muslim tolerance, terrorist George Galloway, Soetoro-lover David Cameron, and soccer) is considering this bill, to be honest. Well, if the English want to detonate their entire economy at the whims of the nanny staters, I won't complain.

The report notes that the findings are "tentative" and that these recommendations might possibly "be an undesirably chilling step towards tyranny,"

Not a step towards tyranny, they are already there:

Obama would love this. The IRS would find it that much easier to audit everyone on FR or elsewhere who told the truth about the pathetic petty tyrant in our White House. FedGov can find who we are when it’s actually needed, but this proposal would put that information in the hands of of a Lois Lerner government.

I always thought that it would be okay to force everybody to use the same assumed anonymous identity for most things on the net. Like a Usagi_yo on FR would be the Same Usagi_yo on Huffington post (It’s not) with a blind link back to the users email address.

But then I realized, our government can do nothing right and in the end, everything gets corrupted and compromised. Why just this week it’s revealed that the CIA spied on and hacked into Members of the Senate’s accounts and such. Then we have the IRS problems. So now I think the opposite. Everyone on line should be hidden from the government and self policed by the public.

Don’t know exactly how to do that, but eh ...

So, the IRS wouldn't have to go to the NSA to find out who to audit?

While history has disclosed the names of the writers of the Federalist Papers, they were generally written under a nom de plume.

The device lets the reader consider the thoughts written rather than the identity of the writer, and sometimes that better gets the point across.

Except for purchases, anonymity is the only way I go online. I laugh at the social networkers who get in all kinds of trouble, puting it all out there with their name in the margins

It’s not like the UK has never had a tyrannical government before.
We send their Tyrant George III a little know Declaration objecting to his tyranny in 1776.

Not all guns are banned.

And hey, some of us love soccer. LOL

Oh and Galloway is a Scot, sadly.

The House of Lords is NOT ‘the government’.

Since the Internet is part of the WORLD WIDE Web, how will Britain deal with foreign accounts?

Will they demand the host country reveal who they are?

For example, I often post on the UK’s Daily Mail/Mail Online as Alas Babylon. And I am very critical of liberals and statists, political correctness and am a proud defender of Christianity and Western values.

So I do not want a single liberal, politically correct, upper class twit from Britain to ever know more about me than I oppose his silliness.
