Europhobia - a vision from the future
Europhobia (who has still to show me why the EU is a good idea, but I keep looking) has brought a vision from the Tyrant Blairs future into the present.
"What was surprising yesterday was that four people, in Bundesgrenzschutz uniform got on the train at Colmar in France and during the 10km journey to Saarbrücken in Germany, went through the entire train demanding to see the ID/Passports of everyone on board. After showing one of them my passport, I asked the man (who was, I should add, friendly, courteous and polite) why border passport controls were still taking place 15 years after Schengen. 'Oh, it’s not a border control,' he said, 'just a random, spot check'"Personally I cannot stand the idea of being stopped and have my papers demanded from me, simply for the privalege of existing under the benevolent gaze of our Dear Leader. I do not need a licence from the government to exist.
I thought twice about posting this because as a Eurosceptic it might me construed as a jibe at the Germans, it isn't it is a jibe at ID Cards and the authoritarians that love them.
