Re: All Orwell got wrong was the date ....

The other very scary thing is that the Lords were prepared to sit late and chuck this bill out at every turn....but now it seems that some kind of pressure has been exerted on the Lords and they have sanctioned the bill with some amendments......there has to be something funny going on there.
I also read that the government plan to make the ID cards compulsory if you want a passport after 2008...well, perhaps not compulsory but you will have to pay an extra £30 for you passport...the £30 is for the ID card...which you don't actually HAVE to take....but how many people will pay the money and not take the card....this is supposed to bring us in line with some loony law passed by Brussels that our government are not actually obliged to follow.

Madness with a capital M....can someone show me the exit please?
