Anti-ID card campaign

The No2ID organisation, which is opposed to government plans for an identity card scheme, has launched a pledge and defence campaign for people who want to resist compulsory registration for a state-issued ID card.

The pledge reads: "I will refuse to register for an ID card and donate £10 to a legal defence fund but only if 10,000 other people will also make this same pledge." All money pledged will be used to defend any individuals who are prosecuted for resisting registration.

The campaign, which was launched in early June, already had over 4,000 signatories as Labour Research went to press.
