NO2ID isn’t an abstract idea, random profile or logo sitting in your top friends. it’s thousands of us manning stalls, attending protests, engaging in the political process and writing to our local papers. Bringing our concerns regarding social justice closer to the communities which we know the NIR and Identity Scheme will have a real impact on. Grass roots support is appreciated but YOUR support in YOUR area is vital.

Who I'd like to meet: Hi! Welcome to the Myspace profile for NO2ID Scotland. Hopefully this profile is more relevant to everyone in Scotland interested in the activities of NO2ID. Here you can access information about where to go next, small things you can do to help and some new images.
NO2ID is a national campaign fighting against the National Identity Register and Identity Card scheme. There are groups all over the country with NO2ID regional groups in Scotland prominent (second only to London) in its peaceful campaigning activities. We are a large group of people from all walks of life united in our concerns about Identity Cards and the consequences. We are non-partisan, non-profit making and completely voluntary. This profile is aimed as a means of awareness and as a stepping-stone to help you find out more and hopefully get involved.

No evidence has been forthcoming on how identity cards effectively combat terrorism, rising immigration, identity theft or that vulnerable feeling of complete reliance on a government dragging around a history of failed IT projects.
WHAT CAN I DO?
THE PLEDGE
The government thinks it is being clever. It will be registering people on the ID cards database when they apply for a passport or other official documents. You may have heard that the ID card is “voluntary”, but once your details are entered onto the ‘National Identity Register’ database they are there for life.
It is not just about a card. Once the details of your life are captured the government will be sharing them with and between an ever growing list of agencies and building an ever more detailed picture of your life. The HMRC disaster with child benefit records has shown just how dangerous that can be.
Millions of people now know that having their identity “managed” by the government is a bad idea. In just four weeks in 2005, more than 10,000 people pledged online to refuse to register for an ID card. You may have seen public figures declaring that they will go to prison rather than be registered.
The NO2ID Pledge is your opportunity to make a personal and public declaration that you will refuse to comply with government control of your identity. Keeping this promise means you avoid registration on the National Identity Register. It is a serious commitment. Though at the moment there is little to resist, the government is going to try and make life gradually more inconvenient if you don’t comply “willingly”. But with tens of thousands of others making the same declaration, life could get pretty inconvenient for the government too.
It is currently perfectly lawful to declare that you will not comply with the ID scheme. It is possible that refusal could be made a crime, but the government has shied away from that so far. If enough people say no, it will be impossible. There would not be enough courts to prosecute 100,000 resisters, let alone millions. Together, now, we can build a wedge of opposition that will jam the wheels of the ID scheme, and protect the personal privacy of everyone in the country.
The more people who commit themselves to resist, the more effective it is. Say no to ID and it becomes more difficult to put pressure on you and everyone else. Get your friends to pledge too, and everyone protects one another.

Each minister across the country receives heavy levels of correspondence regarding this legislation so please add to the pressure. (they write back too which is always funny)

Shit, it's so good to see various sections of society standing up. You read about the writers protest at the anti terrorist bill, too? Beautiful. makes me proud to be the peasant I am.
Dominic Grieve has said it is “high time” Labour abandon their "ill-fated" ID cards project after Jacqui Smith unveiled the design of ID cards for foreign nationals.
The Shadow Home Secretary stressed, “ID cards are an expensive white elephant that risk making us less - not more - safe.”
And he said the Government were “kidding themselves” if they think ID Cards for foreign nationals will protect against illegal immigration or terrorism - as they don't apply to those coming here for less than three months.
A Conservative Government would abandon the ID cards project, and Dominic said he hoped Labour had taken that into account when they negotiated the contracts.
