Ebayers be aware

If there had been an abortion of a miscarriage, would you still
think it was cool then?

 

Well, we discussed it at length at the time and could think of no
conscious action we had taken to inform them. I did have a similar
thought to you when the package arrived, that it was potentially risky
ground. The test kit and change in shopping habits was merely my
assumption of what triggered it.

 

I don't recall sending you the URL.

 

Sounds like a load of shite to me, the sort of thing the seller put in
there and not very well I might add.

I have a degree of faith that those that govern will wake up to the
realities of risk compensation, finding that enforced cosseting of the
human condition by banning all today's dangers will just result in people
going out and indulging in new ones. But I have only a gut feel that this
is the way things will progress anyway; I might be entirely wrong.

 

I'm learning.

 

And we all used to leave our front doors open in the olden days, and
it used to be okay for bobbies to clip people round the ear, and there
was no such thing as child abuse, and we were happy then - though we
were poor. Because we were poor.

Etc.

You're getting old.

 

I read somewhere that with the speed they are going thought mobile phone
numbers they where thinking of giving you a number for life.
So when they pull up all you information they will be able to tell where you
are as well

Ever who they are

I don't have a problem with id cards. like everyone has said if they want my
info they will get it.

I just don't fancy the idea of being nicked for not carrying the id card

Welcome to the self policed parade.

Fight against compulsory id cards then.

I was still leaving my front door unlocked when I lived in Worksop 3
years ago. There had never been a burglary in our street in the 15 years
it had been built. I only started locking it after my mad ex-
girlfriend/stalker drove 100 miles to watch me sleep one night.

I don't want an id card but I don't have anything to hide either
The response you get when you argue the point of why have them is usually if
you don't want one you must have something to hide

If they ask my opinion (yeah right) I will say that I don't think it will be
the cure they think it will be

But then is it to stop terrorists or is it just another way to keep the
great unwashed public in check. or possibly another stealth tax as they will
probably fine people who leave home with out it

They have id cards in the states and did they have a slight problems with
terrorists not to long back

Have you ever sold anything on eBay?
I have stuff in my garage that I paid way less for than it goes for on eBay
I have seen stuff go for more on eBay than you pay for it new in the shops!

I know. Lovely, isn't it? ))

 

Yep, the first recourse of the fascist. Criminalize the citizen who
insists on civil liberty.

And charge to replace lost/stolen/damaged ones too.

Given that the terrorists involved in the slight problems mostly had
paperwork allowing them to be in America, it's hard to see how ID cards
would have made any difference. They had their passports with them when
they boarded the planes anyway.

 

That's very true so you'd assume you have nothing to worry about.
However if the IR think you're telling porkies (on ANY matter)
you are guilty, full stop. It's up to you to prove your innocence
in which case you will require the services of a good accountant
and solicitor which will cost you plenty.

Even then a positive outcome is far from guaranteed. Go to court
to challenge their decision. You will be stunned to discover how
little protection the law offers when the Taxman makes a mistake.

Fair comment, if a little more black/white than I believe the truth to be.

 

Just as I used to believe. When I was armed with a solicitor and
nobody from IR turned up to contest the case I assumed I was home
and dry. Then the district judge informed me that whereas he
accepted the IR's claim was unwarranted he hadn't the power to
reject it, them being crown agents an' all. So he was awarding
the bastards judgement in their absence. In other words you can
have no defence, it's that black & white. Easier just to cough up
whatever they ask for from the start, as I will next time.
