ID Cards & Binge-Drinking Threaten Tyranny

[Gh0st Face Killah]

Both the Guardian and Daily Telegraph warned this week that Britain is
sliding inexorably towards tyranny, under sinister new laws including
changes in alcohol licensing laws and compulsory ID cards.

"We may fret about illegal immigration and improper use of the NHS, but
the national identity register, which will include adults' fingerprints
and an electronic scan of the face or iris, as well as date of birth and
 address, is the tyrant's ideal means of control, said Guardian
columnist Henry Porter.

"To be anonymous, to go privately, to move residence without telling the
 authorities is a fundamental liberty which is about to be taken away
from us. We are about to surrender a right which is precious, rare even
in Western democracies and profoundly emblematic of our culture and
civilisation," he warned.

While the Guardian article railed against the passivity of most Brits
towards ID cards, Daily Telegraph star writer Theodore Dalrymple
identified British culture's embrace of 'drunkenness to the point of
brutish amnesia' as a key factor in stifling protest.

"By its changes to licensing laws and the proposed further changes (to
introduce 24 hour drinking), successive governments have endorsed this
psychological switch," he declared.

"For there is nothing bad and power seeking governments fear more than a
 virtuous and self controlled population. Therefore, let them drink alco-pops.
 Then they will be dependent on us," said Dalrymple.
