Oppose ID Cards Our World Our Say, the campaigning organisation set up to give people a voice and enable true democracy, has launched a campaign to declare Britain an ID Card Free Zone.

"How do you feel about an ID card scheme being foisted on the British people that even George Bush described as too ‘illiberal’ when a similar scheme was proposed in the US?
If you’re not sure where you stand on ID cards please still take a minute to read on because there’s a lot we’re not being told by the Government.
The fact is this is not just about a simple identity card: it is actually more about a national surveillance infrastructure - called the National Identity Register - based on the most comprehensive database of personal information ever devised in any country. It could even include the police DNA database, GCHQ electronic surveillance database and phone & internet surfing records.
This database lies behind the ID card scheme. It is nothing like the ID card this country had in the war and is wider in scope than any other European ID card - it is more like schemes adopted in very authoritarian countries, where the police have access to the personal details of every citizen."

"In Australia, in New Zealand and in Canada voters have rejected such a scheme. We must do the same here in Britain.
It will enable all state bodies and even commercial organisations to access a whole raft of information about who we are and what we do. Right through our life every action through officialdom will be recorded. You and I will have little control over the use of this data.
It may be too illiberal for the US but Home Secretary Charles Clarke and Tony Blair clearly think it’s not too illiberal for Britain. You and I must prove them wrong.
In the early stages the scheme will be voluntary - but you won’t be able to work, you won’t be able to access the health service and you won’t be able to get a passport without becoming part of the scheme. And the government has admitted that the scheme will become compulsory."

UK: Thames Valley : Ridgeway – is the party finally over? Two pressrels from TVP... sadly although I think there is a slight exaggeration in the amount of damage reported by cops, I can't think of much of a rebuttal for the cops' argument as the problems are real and have inconvenienced locals.........
We had 14 years of raves in that area, and they were grudginly tolerated for years - but with hindsight the ones over the last few years were a bit much.
In recent years there were 10+ rigs and parties going on into the working week when farmers etc were trying to get to the land which is their livelihood, parties being held in lambing season (new English lambs don't like hardstyle, even if Welsh hill sheep seem to enjoy it!), also massive road blockages and even incidents of violence witnessed by the cops (I was told of an incident where TVP attended one rave to break up a potential fight (and then let the rave continue!)
And wherever the rigs are put, the lack of proper latrines means that agricultural land ends up contaminated, and/or fences are breached by those looking for a place to perform bodily functions!. This is criminal damage as well, although not as obvious as a broken window...
The very fact they have issued two pressrels is a new tack; in previous years there was a virtual "news blackout" on raves, presumably so as not to give them "the oxygen of publicity".
But after making public statements like this it is very doubtful that the cops or locals will back down now; they are clearly stating "enough's enough".
with the cops' new comms systems and the availability of accurate electronic maps of the rural areas, it definitely looks like the cops have won this round - perhaps this should be a lesson to everyone in the UK that a greater amount of "self-regulation" is required and increasing opposition from locals cannot just be disregarded....

Police step up resources to prevent illegal raves across southern Oxfordshire
Over the next few weekends police will be dedicating resources to target illegal raves throughout southern Oxfordshire.
The resources will be targeted at preventing the unlicensed events before they begin. Our intention is to minimise disruption to the local community by stopping large amounts of traffic coming into small villages and loud noise from revellers throughout the night.
This in turn will prevent damage to local land owners’ property and allow members of the public who wish to use the land for dog walking and other lawful recreational purposes to do so.
Officers are also concerned for the welfare of the people attending events like these; as they usually involve excessive amounts of alcohol consumed by large numbers without safety precautions in place.
On the bank holiday weekend (02/05), officers monitored a rave on the Ridgeway near East Hendred. Intelligence and evidence was gathered to pursue prosecutions after the event; four people were arrested for drugs offences and one for theft of a bicycle.
More than 90 vehicles with three large sound systems were stopped from entering land near Aldworth after a tip off from an off-duty officer who overheard plans for the rave. The rave was planned for the early hours of Sunday (15/5) but officers managed to stop it taking place. Fifty-six officers from Berkshire and Oxfordshire were involved in the operation - mounted under Section 63 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, which gives officers the authority to turn people away from an illegal gathering such as a rave.
Officers spread out around the area of Chilton, Streatley, Compton and Aldworth and stopped vehicles as they tried to reach rural land on the Ridgeway throughout the early hours of Sunday (15/05).
Ch Insp David Purnell, local police area commander for the Vale of White Horse, said: “I am working closely with our partners within the local authority to combat the problems and disruption these events cause to the community.
“We will investigate and assess all illegal raves in accordance with the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act, and I have allocated a considerable number of officers to resource this operation as these raves are unlicensed and frequently involve large numbers of people disrupting the lives of others.”
Members of the public are urged to phone police on ****** and quote ************if they have any information concerning illegal raves over the forth coming weekends.

Rave crackdown shows signs of success
Intelligence-led planning and dedicated resources resulted in a bank holiday weekend free of illegal raves in the region.
Police responded to one report of a possible rave in progress in the early hours of Sunday morning (29/5) near Cumnor, and arrived to find around 30 people in the process of setting-up a rave. Officers swiftly put a stop to this, issuing those present with a notice to quit under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act.
Insp Pete Downing, of the Operations Department at Force headquarters, said:
“Certain communities in the Force, especially those around the Ridgeway and East Hendred, have suffered over the last couple of months with illegal raves and we have made it quite clear that the counties we police will not be soft targets for rave organisers.
“Traditionally, bank holiday weekends are popular with illegal rave organisers and for this reason a determined effort has been made to stamp out the substantial disruption these events cause the local communities. We are very pleased that this proved successful, but organisers should be under no illusion that we will be keeping the pressure up in key areas of the Force over the coming months.
“These events are often associated with trespass, drug use and appalling criminal damage. Thames Valley Police is not looking for confrontation but any illegal activity will be dealt with very robustly.”
PC Pete Hale, of Oxfordshire BCU Operations based at Abingdon, added:
“I am pleased the message is getting through that the Thames Valley is not the place to be for illegal raves. However, we will continue to work with our partners to disrupt any such events and will investigate all illegal raves in accordance with the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act.”
