Online Petition

We, the undersigned residents of Brighton & Hove, petition the Council to immediately condemn the Government's Identity Cards scheme and the associated National Identity Register; we also petition the government to abandon the scheme.

We believe the Government's proposals constitute an attack on individual rights and freedoms.

Given that over 80% of citizen contact with government occurs through local authorities, we believe that it is important for the council to oppose the ID card scheme.

Given that the costs of implementing the scheme must be borne by local authorities, we believe that, were the council to buy into the scheme, rises in council tax or cuts to services would be inevitable.

We believe that the scheme relies heavily on unproven technology, and that it is unlikely to work.

We believe that the scheme will deliver little or no tangible benefit and will lead to an endemic loss of privacy and freedoms.

We believe that the scheme will present particular dangers to marginalised, disenfranchised and disadvantaged people.

For these reasons, we urge the council not to buy into or cooperate with the scheme, to state its opposition publicly, and to make its opposition known to the Home Secretary.
