In response to an e-petition asking the government to ban microchipping humans, the government has just released the following reply;
-----------------------------------------------------
Thank you for signing the e-petition regarding the banning of micro chipping of humans.
The Government is not aware of any organisation or individual that is planning to micro chip humans, and so although in principle the Government would be against this practice, it seems disproportionate to legislate to ban it.
However, you may be reassured that any attempt to micro-chip someone against their will would certainly be covered by the law on assault, and as such is already illegal.
------------------------------------------------------
Note, "micro-chip someone against their will".
Why is tagging, as applied to convicted offenders, not defined as assault? And how can the law be bent to apply to microchips?
You should by now be aware of a growing media campaign to glorify and extol the virtues of the microchip implant. For the government to state that it is "not aware of any organisation or individual that is planning to micro chip humans", they should pull their heads out of their arses and take a good look around.
Who financed the verichip? why? what do they intend to use it for? who have they consulted on potential applications of the 'chip?
