A brief comic interlude

With the Identity and Passport Service website now solemnly announcing the end of the UK ID card and Nick Clegg this morning reaffirming the coalition's ambition to scrap the National Identity Register; it seems that we in Britain are now free of the spectre of the identity card.

So let us spare a thought for those in other countries who are not so fortunate. Take Ghana, for instance, whose ID card scheme is now up and running, and whose moves to promote the venture are considerably more ambitious than the pathetic efforts of our previous government.

With many thanks and a huge hat-tip to Total Politics, I am proud to present the Ghanaian ID card commercial:

Now, if NuLabour had just made an advert like that I would have been first in the queue for an ID Card. What a relief that they never thought of it and went down the sinister, Big Brother route instead.

At first glance it is funny, but in truth it points to a decidedly unfunny agenda being enacted worldwide to push electronic ID cards. This article

claims that at present rates of adoption 85% of the world’s population will have cards by 2012. This in anyone’s book is suspiciously indecent haste.

Note, too, the voiceover at the end of the commercial which says ‘It’s a New World Order’. All tin foil hats will understand the implications of that.
