Opposing ID Cards
Bedford joins the growing opposition to the introduction of compulsory ID cards in the UK with the launch of its own anti-ID group, BedfordDenyID.
Its inaugural meeting was held at the Phoenix pub in Bedford town centre Wednesday evening, 13th December, and hopefully it will be holding monthly public meetings at the same venue – all are welcome.
Resulting from that meeting a mailing list and website have already been set up, which can be checked out at BedfordDenyID.
The folk present at this first meeting acknowledged the differences that have arisen between the two existing anti-ID networks, Defy-ID and No2ID, and expressed a unanimous opinion that such differences should – if opposition to the introduction of ID cards is to have any hope at all of success – be put aside and both camps should unite to achieve their common objective.
Therefore, the Bedford group hope to do just this, and attract members from both camps.
