Sign the NO2ID national pledge!
http://www.pledgebank.com/refuse

NO2ID is trying to collect 10,000 signatures - UKDUers should be more than enough to push them over the 3000 mark.

I've pledged - please add you name!

(No, you don't have to prove your identity to sign.)

3. The only problem is they don't need an act of parliament to force
Edited on Thu Jun-16-05 10:46 AM by bennywhale
people to supply fingerprints etc for passports or driving licence as they are voluntary. They are being very sly. Within a decade through passports and driving licences they will have 80% of the populations details. Then the ID cards will simply land on our doormats.

(Renew your passport before October and it'll give you another free decade.)

12. How long did you have left on your passport.
mine's still got a few years to run, but i'm going to try and renew it before August. Not sure what to give as a reason.

I'm sure "So that you authoritarian nutcases can't have my fingerprints and scan my eyes" won't suffice.

5. I would sign up, but as a foreign national
its not something I will have much choice over if I wan't to re-enter the UK when my current visa expires. Still, you have my moral support 100%.

7. The Balkan kind
I am a mongrel, but I guess what little national allegiance I have is to the old SFRJ.

9. Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
and I am being obtuse, because I'm in one of my anti-nationalist moods. I was born in Belgrade if you like.

10. I hear Belgrade is a great city.
Underrated in Euopean terms. My father worked there a while ago.

11. It's beautiful
although less so since 1999. In historic terms, there is plenty to see, although a lot of the museums are in a decrepit state. In terms of restaurants, its a veritable heaven. Try the Sindjelic if you are ever there.

Anyone on here use their DU name instead of the real name? It's just that some names seem to be made up...
