The Bristol branch of the national campaign against ID cards and the hideously Orwellian National Identity Register have stepped up a gear lately and are making news locally and nationally. This week Bristol City Council voted unanimously to oppose the ID card scheme as Bristol No2ID members demonstrated outside the council buildings.

Previously Dave Gould gave Home Office Minister Andy Burnham a fantastic grilling in front of the TV cameras during an ID card propaganda roadshow in the Galleries shopping centre. Dave’s been particularly active in the local group and deserves a lot of credit for his persistance – he certainly puts me to shame, as I’ve recently missed both a meeting and the Demo last Tuesday

Anyway, here’s a token contribution as I lend what little Google Juice I can muster towards the new Bristol No2ID website. There’s a mailing list, too, so get yourselves signed up if you live in the area and care about your civil liberties – they’re being reomved faster than you might think.
