I'm Spartacus

This shall be a short blog post. Lately new adverts promoting ID cards have arose. Below is said advert.



Cute isn't it? Why it seems only innocent people are fingerprinted is beyond me but this is not what I want to discuss. The scene they are relating to is from the film Spartacus (link). In this scene the slaves are told they can all be allowed to live if they produce Spartacus to be killed. However the group of slaves all group together and defy the Romans. So effectively what the ID card scheme means is that bad people will be able to find and kill however they please. Nice... Nice.




Keep alert, stay free.
