It's Bollocks and it's Fraud

WHICH magazine reports and of course not disputed by the government that "A quarter of UK adults have had their identity stolen or know somebody who's been a victim of ID fraud, according to our new survey"

On first reading, this sound horrendous but its all bollocks and is perpetrated by the government to support their ID card scheme.

Ok, lets just look at this statement: According to the Office of National Statistics, the population over 16's in the UK = 47,000,000 / 4 = 11750000

so what are they saying 11,750,000 of us have had out ID stolen

No, they say, know somebody who's been a victim of ID fraud

OK, so lets assume that each of us know 100 people therefore = 1,17,500 have had there ID stolen

Well, NO, cos the fucking governments own national crime statistics state that 1.6 per thousand population = crimes that are Fraud and Forgery related (oh, and not all fraud involves ID) so therefore the Governments own statistics for Fraud and forgery is 29,375. If one was to assume a quater of us have been a victim or know some who is a victim that would be 0.0025 or 73,000, that would mean on average we each know 640,000 people

This is bollocks and blatant propaganda.

Its like saying "A 100 % of UK adults have been lied too or know somebody who has been lied too, according to my new survey"

We all know Tony Blair and we all know he is a liar, but that doesn't mean he is the only liar we know.

and it didn't take me 45 min to work that one out

One is reminded of the statement of Nazi leader Herman Goering on trial for war crimes telling the court in Nuremburg, “The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”
