On 24th March in Parliament Shadow Home Secretary Chris Grayling had asked "how many biometric enrolment centres are in operation; where they are located; how many applications they are expected to process in the next 12 months; and how many people they could each process and provide with identity cards each year if working at maximum capacity". The Home Secretary, Alan Johnson revealed the government had 34 "biometric enrolment offices" across the UK, ranging from Aberdeen in the North to Brighton in the South - there's also one in Belfast - while the easternmost outpost appears to be London City Airport. At least nine of these are in London. (There's one in Stamford but no indication as to which Stamford.) Manchester - the centre of the current ID card pilot scheme - has two centres, while there are another two in Liverpool and one in Blackburn. The total capacity of this dab and snap network is 650,000 to 700,000 a year, Johnson said. UK population is around 61 million. Doesn't need a genius to work out that many of us could actually be dead long before they got to us. -- Conor I'm not prejudiced. I hate everyone equally.

Kev is an ex-public sector employee so as such enjoys all the perks and protections that come with it in retirement such as being insulated from the real world in regards to pensions etc. Also virtually all of the public sector are brainwashed into thinking massive databases are the solution to everything. The rest of us have to suffer. -- Conor I'm not prejudiced. I hate everyone equally. |
