Meg Hillier - Re-editing


New Labour speak: v1
"The National Identity Register, essentially, will be a secure database; ...hack-proof, not connected to the Internet...not be accessible online; any links with any other agency will be down encrypted links." - Meg Hillier to Home Affairs Select Committee (verbatim)
And now... v2
"The National Identity Register, essentially, will be a secure database; it will not be accessible online; any links with any other agency will be down encrypted links." - Meg Hillier to Home Affairs Select Committee (Hansard)
Oh where to start? If it’s not accessible online what is the use of it? Will govt depts have to send CDs to each other? We all know how well New Labour guard our data. Perfectly safe doing things that way, oh hang on....

Oh if it is linked live to other agencies isnt that online? Quite what planet is this woman on?

The edit and removal of “hack proof" would show that New Labour are not confident that it will be 100 per cent hack proof.

Meg Hillier, another shifty duplicitous bastard in a party full of them.

First we had fellow shifty bastard Jacqui Smith trying to soft sell us the idea of ID cards. Claiming that we would miss out if they fail to sign up to the scheme....link

Next up we had part time scribber for tabloid paper The Sun and former Home Sec. David Blunkett who has gone on at great length about the benefits of ID cards to one and all. Yet he keeps very quiet about
how he has since last March, been the chairman of the international advisory committee of Entrust Inc, the Texas based security company which hopes to provide software for the UK ID cards system. link

No conflict there at all, in much the same way that no bribes were given to Saudi royals in order to get arms deals...link.

This from a man who claimed store loyalty cards present a bigger threat to privacy than the government's ID card scheme and told opponents of the controversial project to "get real" about 'Big Brother' surveillance accusations... link

Would that be this sort of Big Brother surveillance, where a council spied on a couple to check whether they lived in the catchment area of their child's school...link

Mind you once they roll them out we will miss out if we want to do any of this:
  • Travel
  • Get a bank account
  • Get a loan
  • Prove who we are to the police
  • Buy property
  • Register as unemployed or use NHS facilities.

They shouldn't be able to edit or change anything said; if it is in Hansard then it should be the words as spoken. This deserves some more digging as it is corrupt.

Yep, still that is the typical re-working of facts that is New Labour from top to bottom.

IF they say their system is hack-proof, you can guarantee there will be an army of hackers attacking their system and tearing it to pieces in hours if not quicker.
