Are you happy letting the Government of the UK share your details on a centralised database.

No ! No ! No ! No ! No !
They cannot be trusted, no matter what they say. They prove this every single day by their crazy behaviour.
It doesn't matter if you've got nothing to hide. The chances are that they'll screw something up and foul up your life anyhow.

No, Simple as that. No. Never
This government failed to make the case for id cards and by the way it isn't any issue about "if you have nothing to fear.." - the cost is astronomical and the idea ludicrous that a piece of paper, plastic or other that can and will be hacked and forged in minutes of becoming official will prevent anything. This govt. can not even keep its records straight or up to date on criminals with overseas records - so why should we trust them? every major IT project has overrun with a cost of hundreds of millions and in the case of the NHS computrer system billions, usually and in virtually every case has failed to achieve its primary objective largely because this stupid govt can not think beyond initial knee jerk reactions and tabloid headlines that may secure them some kind of legacy...the NHS computer the one where everyone can log on and see what disease you have from junior doctor to trainee nurse and cost billions to develop...they suddenly realised, one small problem Data Protection Act...they aren't allowed to do it...stupid, stupid and wrong. If I don't have anything to fear I don't want to start fearing the stupid elected politicians - a pox on their black hearts

None of us are.
But we all complain when we hear that the Home Office has information about a criminal that they didn't share with the Ministry of Defence.
We expect government departments to know what each other are up to, how can they do this without sharing information? A central database is a logical development. Trouble is, we all want it to apply to other people and not ourselves

No, they are there to serve us, not monitor and control us. They account to us, not the other way round.
'Snooksville' is far too trusting of government, they could easily misuse the information.

Absolutely not! I thought we were supposed to be a free country! I have nothing to hide, but with talk of corruption being rife in our government, who are they to 'check up' on us? It's hypocrisy at it's worst.

Definitely not and this needs challenging in the European Court for Human Rights.

it may help their outdated system to communicate with each seperate agency or department but they have prooved that the system can be misused and the people they are trying to catch wont be on it , just the ones with nothing to hide.

Sharing my details within government departments is fine. People who have something to hide are the only ones who should be worried.
