Today was the day of the Queen’s speech where she outlines the bills to be put forward in the new parliament.

Amongst them was a bill to scrap biometric passports, identity cards (hooray!) and limit the data that can be held about an individual.

I have a plan to take this even further: no personal data of any kind can be held about a person, BUT everyone must wear a T-Shirt proclaiming one embarrassing aspect of their views or past. For example:

“Evolution denier”

“Second cousin of G.W. Bush”

“Believes in fairies”

“Doesn’t like black people” (see how long the person wearing that one lasts…)

“Supported the war in Iraq”

“Cannot wee in the presence of others”

In addition to giving us all a good laugh, I believe this will help to bring us together as people. At the least it’s a lot more interesting than most of the proposals in the Queen’s speech, anyway.
