£2500 fine for disagreeing with David Blunkett. Amongst other things David Blunkett has announced that it will be compulsory to get an ID card, with a fine of up to £2500 if you don't.
David Blunkett said not making registering a criminal issue would avoid "clever people" becoming martyrs.
First time I've heard not doing something making one clever. So presumerably, if you don't want an ID card, that makes you clever and if you do then you're a moron! Which means, I'm smarter than David Blunkett. Mind you, I've just watched Finding Nemo, which was great, and there are krill in that that are smarter than David Blunkett. And you won't get martyrs anyway, nothing involving cards begins with 'm', so martyr is right out. We might have some ID idealists I suppose, or some Blunkett bashers, or just people who think that David Blunkett is about to waste a huge amount of taxpayers money on something that at best will have absolutely no effect.
