Alarming rise of Children’s ID databases and biometrics in schools

22-08-2006 00:47 | Education | Repression | Technology | Cambridge | Nottinghamshire

Video Iris-scanning - one example of biometrics used in schools
On top of ID cards and the move to NHS electronic records, another major government plan with a potential for hideous invasion of privacy and loss of personal freedom comes out of the Children Act (2004). The new Act allows the setting up of incredibly invasive databases by the Secretary of State and/or children's services authorities in England. At the same time pupils and parents are getting more vocal and organised in their protests against the alarming rate of introduction of biometric systems in schools. These have included fingerprinting (and even iris scanning) of children for school dinners, attendance registers, and use of libraries or ‘learning resource centres’.

UK Identity Card scheme - really finished? Let's make sure.

25-07-2006 12:31 | Analysis | Repression | Social Struggles | Nottinghamshire | World

Labour's ID scheme is supposedly on the rocks, but let’s not be overly comforted by this news. There are good reasons to continue to build up the pressure. In particular, passport developments in the UK Identity and Passport Service (IPS) and the European Union could result in alternative identity databases, and since the Act is on the statute books, compulsory ID could start at any future date.

The African Prison Project

07-07-2006 05:12 | Education | Repression | Social Struggles | Manchester | Nottinghamshire

Kenyan prisoners
An inspirational project set up in Nottingham.

The prison is severely overcrowded. Congestion precipitates the spread of infectious diseases that prevail due to malnutrition and a lack of hygiene, clean water and adequate health care. Prisoners exist in squalor without even the most basic of necessities. However, what the prison is perhaps most notorious for is its problem of gang rape, the existence of which, though frighteningly common-place, is often denied because of attitude towards homosexuality in East African society.

Important ruling on police keeping DNA records?

23-03-2006 13:09 | Repression | Social Struggles | Nottinghamshire

As I understand it the police routinely take DNA samples when people are arrested and do not destroy these even if you subsequently released without charge (let alone found not guilty if brought to court). Now see this which has just been reported by the BBC.
