| Message | ID Cards are a necessity in order to defeat crime and insubordination in this nation. The people must be protected from criminals! And why should prisoners get an education in prison at the public's expense? The police must also be able to break-up the groups of teenage delinquents that are terrorising ordinary folks who want to live in peace. This country needs a firm hand, not liberal pansy policies! |
