NO2ID and Privacy international have issued a £1000 bounty for anyone who can legally obtain the fingerprints of Gordon Brown and those of his typist/Home Secretary Jacqui Smith.
The stunt was inspired by the publication in Germany of the fingerprints of their Interior Minister.
The Government is pedalling the idea that retinas & fingerprints are a biometric feature that will make the ID card secure and so something we can all trust: ludicrous. Ministers have even prattled on about how biometrics will protect our identity and stop identity theft. Quite how it would have stopped the HMRC losing 25 million individuals details on CDs isn’t explained. Methods to forge fingerprints are widely known.
Geeklawyer would like to join in the spirit of the stunt by offering a reward of £5,000 for each of Gordon Brown and Jacqui Smith’s entire fingers, sod the prints.
And £20,000 for each of Tony Blair’s eyes, preferably with attached and still bleeding optic nerves.
Oh dear, Geeklawyer senses an imminent DOS attack; and another visit from the Metropolitan Police complaining about his sense of humour.
Right, I already have another post directing readers to the Squat at the ready…
Thanks John. Anytime now I reckon
… Sling in another £10k for TB’s Ears, and I’m there…..!
Ok. Here’s the deal: I’ll throw in an extra £20k but you have to take a video while you are doing it. Deal?
… ONLY if you sling in a 12 month pupillage….
GL: Just tell the Police that you watch too much Ant & Dec… they’ll understand the sense of humour problem then!
Forget the cash, not interested in the body parts, will take pupillage…..
*sniffs air* i love the smell of desperation in the morning.
ah! april in england and the olpas is in bloom.
My Dear GL,
You appear to have gone strangely quiet. I believe that this could be for a number of reasons, noted as follows:
a/: You are INSANELY busy.
b/: You have become enamoured of totty based at Spearmint Rhino and are in the process of showering said totty with the remainder of your bulk stock of AP lingerie in an attempt to impress.
c/: The recent clamour in your comments section for pupillage/mini pupillage has, in fact, sent you screaming into the sunset, or, in the alternative, a remote retreat in the Scottish Highlands for Barristers Sick to The Back Teeth of Bar Students.
Just a thought….!
It’s ‘a’. The clamouring for pupillages from the desperate; far from being off-putting it is wonderful. I get sexually excited by the act of turning down the desperate: the terminally ill or starving are best but pupillage aspirants will do at a pinch.
I have a judicial review to do and it’s been long time so I’m having to remind myself. And I have some EU trademark stuff to do. So it is ‘a’.
I have watched GB cast his prints with some vigour, but unfortunately he always eats the medium
