renew for freedom - MAY 2006 - renew your passport
The Identity Cards Act 2006 turns your passport into a one-way ticket to control of your identity by the government. It means lifelong surveillance, and untold bureaucracy.
You may have heard that you'll be able to opt out of having an ID card if you renew your passport before 1st January 2010. But the card is not the point. Even if you chose not to have it, you would still have to pay for it. And you will get no choice about attending an official interview, producing numerous personal documents to be recorded, and having your fingerprints and eye scans taken for the records.
"Anyone who opts out in my opinion is foolish."
-— Charles Clarke, on the passing of the Identity Cards Act 2006.
Far from being 'foolish', renewing your passport to avoid all this is just plain common sense.
In the 10 years that follow, NO2ID and many others will be working to end the ID scheme and keep Britain a free country.
