Saint in Paradise Posted 19 October, 2008 Author Share Posted 19 October, 2008 I really hope that you are correct but who knows what will happen in a few years time. Once ideas like these appear in print the ball has allready been set in motion. I distrust ALL politicians and as James Bond said "Never say never" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint in Paradise Posted 19 October, 2008 Author Share Posted 19 October, 2008 Please don't spoil Seatbelt's unfounded misery at the world around him. When you get to my age you will look back in time and see plenty of misery that has been caused by politicians who know best what is correct for the peasants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 19 October, 2008 Share Posted 19 October, 2008 I don't have a problem with it whatsoever. My mobile is on contract and O2 have my details already, as BT do with my landline. If it curbs the use of mobiles by criminals, be they terrorists or otherwise, then I'm all for it. I regularly buy SIM cards overseas and, with the exception of Spain, have always had to give my ID details. In fact in India, I had to fill in a huge form and give the government seven days notice before I bought a SIM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most have nothing to hide and I dont fall for this "infrigment of rights etc" Its the same as the national ID scheme, bring it on I reckon. No one complains about having a passsport, or national insurance number as it is the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted 19 October, 2008 Share Posted 19 October, 2008 Normally I'm dead against state sponsored fear mongering to strip more freedoms from us... but in this case it makes perfect common sense. (Particularly when you're a forum admin on the end of "silent" phonecalls and spurious mallicious text messages from sad ****ing bastards who think that harrassing someone in real life and threatening them is ok)....*sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted 19 October, 2008 Share Posted 19 October, 2008 #HIJACK# As I'm not allowed to start threads. Portsmouth's chief Alexandre Gaydamak nets fortune in arms sale The owner of Portsmouth football club, the FA Cup holders, received a joint share of at least £34m from allegedly illegal arms deals that fuelled a brutal civil war in Africa. Court documents seen by The Sunday Times show how profits from arms sales were paid into two bank accounts jointly controlled by Alexandre Gaydamak, 32, the owner of the Premier League club who is a French businessman of Russian descent. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article4969422.ece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revolution saint Posted 19 October, 2008 Share Posted 19 October, 2008 I've no problem with the govt having the details that I owe a phone (as long as they can keep those details safe!). I'm not so sure I want them having access to my call records and emails as the article suggested though. To be fair it's in the Times so it's probably Murdoch propaganda but all the same it's a worry. For the record though...Gordon, if you're reading this then please execute the royal family, yours truly Rev. PS, Also Jamie Oliver - no special reason except he's a tad irritating.

I don't think that the anyone should be able to store everything contained in all forms of digital communication that we have. It's no different to all of our mail being open and scanned and I can't imagine that many people would agree to that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 20 October, 2008 Share Posted 20 October, 2008 Im all for things like this. ID cards, passports for buying phones etc. Providing the minor things go un-noticed then it can only be good. I mean, if I have a conversation with a mate about a program I recorded on TV which he can have, or if he fancies coming over for a few smokes and then got a knock on the door with a warrant for my arrest with this as evidence, I dont agree with it. But if its put to good use, to stop these c*nts bombing everything and terrorism in general, then I dont see a problem. I am not guilty and would be happy to carry a card proving this.

Window Cleaner Posted 20 October, 2008 Share Posted 20 October, 2008 Been like that in continental Europe since Day 1 on mobile phones. No valid ID (and I don't mean a student union card or a note from yer mum)= no mobile phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, because that's absolutely how it would work. The police/govmt would have no interest in someone just breaking the law, they just want to catch 'johnny foreigner' and his over-exciting rucksack. Please, don't be so naive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, just look at Brown suggesting the UK should use the anti-terrorist law against Iceland to get money back for UK nationals. If the option is there to use it will be used in every circumstance available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
