Not only are our mobile phones tracked.
Not only are our clothes tagged with tiny RFID transmitters.
Not only are our car journeys to be tracked.
Not only are hundreds of images of our faces taken by CCTV.
Not only are some young offenders tagged (which is not working, surprise, surprise).
Not only is there a service to track your children (because paedophiles are deliberately being released early or being given light sentences to molest and abuse your children).
They only want to go and tag nonpayers to the Child Support Agency now.
Who's next?
Why not just come straight out with it and tell us all to register at our nearest Post Office tomorrow and get injected with a microchip implant. Oops, they can't do that because the electronic infrastructure is not working yet. That's what the ID card is for. The infrastructure (database, readers ect) will work. But the ID Card itself will fail (and will be designed to fail, probably easily forged), to be replaced by...THE MICROCHIP IMPLANT.

Parents who fail to pay child support money could be tagged, Work and Pensions Secretary John Hutton said.
Mr Hutton said the idea was being examined as part of reforms of the powers of the Child Support Agency.
"I want to get tough with those dads who are not paying for their kids," he told BBC News.
A review of the Child Support Agency is under way after Prime Minister Tony Blair said it was "not properly suited" to its job.
Mr Hutton said he would make a statement to Parliament soon setting out how he plans to improve the CSA's performance.
Extra powers?
Mr Hutton's comments follow press reports suggesting his department was looking at imposing curfews backed by tagging to restrict the movements of absent parents.
