Stabbing is too quick and painless. How about peeling and dipping them in chilli sauce?

As if...the real problem here isnt that there wont be any single database BUT that ID Cards will still be forced down our throats.

Wake me up when you have something of interest

hmmm, save money, increase efficiency and reduce fraud? I'll keep an eye on the register in about 5 years time then to see how much it is costing to run, how inefficient it is and how ID fraud is on the up...

Biggest U-Turn Ever

He said he also wanted to tighten up exit controls at ports and airports, as well as entry requirements.

"We want to count everybody in and count everybody out," said Mr Reid.

Not of course that he would be thinking of in any way contravening Article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

"Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own"

So, if a non-paying father has his passport confiscated, it is a breach of his human rights?

Really - this govt needs to get it's act together. But then we knew that anyway...

"Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own"

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a load of bollocks anyway. That's just one example. What about this:

(1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.

(2) Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection.

(1) is a charter for lazy bastards, and (2) is so ill-defined as to be meaningless.
