ID Cards - So shit the banks won't accept them.

Well this one made me laugh.

From Big Brother Watch

Man can't prove ID with ID card

Darren McTeggart tried to use the £30 ID card to pick up a replacement credit card from a branch of Santander in Manchester, where the scheme was rolled out on a voluntary basis last year.

Mr McTeggart, one of the first people to get the card, said: “They said it was not on their list of approved ID.

“I sent an email to the head office, but they wouldn’t budge. The government has been pushing this card on TV and elsewhere so it beggars belief why the bank won’t accept it.”

So chap buys into what HM Govt are saying about ID cards keeping us safe from dusky terrorists, stopping crime and ID fraud and yet his bank won't even accept it.

Maybe Mr McTeggart should have asked why there are hardly any readers for the ID cards.

Ah yes now one David Blunkett has been yapping about that, although keeping quiet with regards Entrust a company he has ties with which is touting for ID cards business.  I also covered that here.

The same David Blunkett who also 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

They claim that they are secure and also claimed that chip an pin was also safe, oh the security has already been broken as this link shows.

Meg "re-edit" Hillier is not adverse to making statements and re-editing them later and so can not be trusted. These are same people who told us they are not compulsory just entitlement.

Listen can you hear that....
