The authorities in the UK and Ireland are gearing their populations up for the new 'biometric' passport scheme. Both issued cut-off points for late Oct after which applying/renewing one's passport will result in having various Orwellian points of data enlisted in one's ID.
The question is, to take this seriously or not? Given that the course we're on remains very much in place, how much kudos do others give to the notion that evading/prolonging enlisting with this scheme helps 'protect' the individual from Government, albeit in the short-run?
A well-organised campaign in the UK, No2id, comes replete with recommendations to renew one's passport now, thus avoiding registration on the new system. http://www.no2id.net/ , then click on 'Take Action' - 'Renew Your Passport'... links you to http://www.renewforfreedom.org/
I'm trying to analyse the real potential worth of such a move. While I agree that
"By renewing early in large numbers, we'll send a message to the politicians and bureaucrats who think that they can take control of who we are, and to the companies that hope to make a fortune - at our expense - helping them" - http://www.renewforfreedom.org/
..something tells me this won't bother the Pathocrats one iota! Fellow forumites, what you thinkin? UK and Irish members, have any of you taken this seriously enough to renew your passports lately?
