IN January this year there was cross-party agreement in council to oppose the use of the National ID card for access to local services.
There will be new councillors following today's elections and to help voters understand the position of their candidate on the hugely expensive and invasive ID card Swindon NO2ID surveyed each candidate to check out their view.
The majority of respondents have been absolute in their position. They consider ID cards and the NIR to be a step too far in the state's march into our lives as well as money ill-spent. Our money.
All voters should check their candidate's position on ID cards before voting. Do not vote for a candidate that is in favour of using your money to whittle away your liberty.
All responses to the NO2ID survey are posted by ward on the public forum www.talkswindon.org.
