If you signed the pledge, "I will refuse to register for an ID card and will
donate £10 to a legal defence fund but only if 10,000 other people will also make this same pledge" back in 2005, then you will have received a message calling for the pledge to be honoured . 11360 people signed up. Thank you all.

You may have seen that recently high-profile figures have begun to follow you, by committing themselves to non-compliance too.

The Identity Cards Act 2006 is now law, and - despite growing opposition, significant delays and rising costs - the new Prime Minister shows no sign of calling a halt to the National Identity Scheme. In 2008, the government intends to pilot fingerprinting and to issue the first 'biometric residence 'visas' to non-EU foreign nationals as a precursor to registering British Citizens.

The legal powers to do these all these things will shortly begin to be applied. Now is the time to call in the legal defence fund part of the pledge.

Whether you have pledged or not you can still donate to help fund the fight. Please send your donation, by cheque made payable to 'NO2ID' to:
