So you thought that by giving the government all your personal details it would be to stop terrorists blowing up trains, or to stop immigrants claiming benefits, and the government tell us that our personal data will be safe in their hands. 

Then why are they going to give it all to the unelected EUROPEAN COMMISSION.

The European Commission is in discussion with all the EU member states on how to join up their data collection and sharing schemes across Europe. The federal nanny state is here. 

The EU tell us with a reassuring voice that eID system is expected to help reduce the administrative burden on mobile workers and travellers in the EU. It will also simplify cross border business transactions, company registrations, or payment of tax obligations for small businesses.

For the 100,000 or so of Britons that travel to Europe on a regular basis this may possibly be plausible. 

So why would they want the details of 65 million Britons in order to do that.

Why would the EU want your finger prints, your DNA, your medical records, your tax records, your bank account details, details of who you are and how you link to other members of your family, in fact all the information that would be on your passport and ID card, if you never go to Europe.  

Is it because when Tony Blair signs away the last of our sovereign rights on March 25th by signing the new European Constitution, we will effectively be ruled by the unelected EU.

We have consistently advised readers of this blog that data collection and data sharing is not a good thing for the population of Britain.

We advised you that when the Government introduced paper ID cards during WW2, it was planned for the information about you to be used for 3 purposes.  To Identity you to the police, to use for food rationing and to receive medical care.

When it was abolished in 1952 it was found government was using that information for 157 different purposes. 

So whatever they tell you today, you can be sure it will be used for something different tomorrow.

We have also advised that these data collection and data sharing schemes are being undertaken in most of the western world.

Our government is already giving our personal details to the Americans, they are currently passing laws to give it to companies and the BBC, and now they are going to give it all to Europe.

No longer do we live in the land of free peoples.

Data sharing is not about helping you, it is about controlling you.

Whatever they tell you today, you can be sure it will be used for something different tomorrow.
