For immediate release 13th February 2007
When did you last see your father?
If you value your freedom, your privacy and your dignity, now is the time to reapply for your passport", said Nigel Farage MEP. "The Government in the guise of the UK Passport and Identity Service is opening what it calls 'Interrogation Centres' across the country".
On March 26th the Government will be opening the first group of 'Investigation Centre's'. In the South East we will have centres in Dover, Reference: DOV/06/01345, Maybrook House, Queens Gardens, Dover, Kent CT17 9AH; Maidstone, Reference: 06/1859, Concord House, 10-12 London Road, Maidstone ME16 8QA; Crawley, Reference: CR/2006/0408/COU, Second Floor, Belgrave House, Station Way, Northgate, Crawley RH10 1HU; Hastings, Reference: HS/FA/06/00813, Queensbury House, 1 Havelock Rd, Hastings TN34 1BP; Newport (Isle of Wight), Reference: P/02530/06, Unit B, The Apex Centre, St Cross Business Park, Monks Brook, Newport Isle Of Wight, PO30; Portsmouth, Reference: 06/00393/FUL, Floor 8, Block D, Enterprise House, Isambard Brunel Road, Hampshire PO1 2RX
Reading, Reference: 06/00858/FUL, Kings Reach, 38 - 50 Kings Road, Reading, Berkshire RG1 3AA
These centres will be used for what the government is calling "Authentication by Interview".
The interview will demand; official numbers, addresses for the last few years, your educational institutions.
That information will be used to look up everything that can be found out about you on all the government and private sector databases they can lay their hands on: school records, social services, police, credit checking, family details. All this to build a single dossier on you containing personal information. This procedure can be described as "Data-rape".
Over the next year every new applicant will be called in to their nearest interrogation centre. There you will be fingerprinted and photographed, and put through what they describe as an "intrusive interview" to check that you can give answers about private details of your life that agree with the official ones. If you can, you'll get your passport. If not... it is not clear, but trying to get a passport under 'false pretences' - if the computer says "no" - could be quite serious.
The government has already estimated that 1 in 4 people who apply under this new procedure will have to cancel their trip because they don't get their passport in time.
"It is true that the Labour Party is the only one that supports the ID cards," said Nigel Farage, "but anybody who applies for a new passport between now and the end of this government will have their files kept forever. The answer is simple. Apply for a passport now, or risk the government holding all your information on file".
