    Ministers are seeking access to the bank details of virtually everyone in the country

    The Government is to change the law to require the banks and private companies to hand over details of earnings. Employers will also be required to hand over payroll details each month, rather than on an annual basis.

    The scheme, due to be phased in during the next three years, will involve a ‘massive data-matching exercise’ to cross-check payments made to benefit recipients against their declared earnings.

    A Government source said: ‘Having information on a monthly basis will allow HMRC to keep track of what is going on with people’s earnings'

    FACT - No doubt the ultimate aim behind this - State appropriation of private capital from those first denounced as 'hoarders', 'enemies of the people' or just 'Jews'.

    It been obvious to everyone that income tax alone can't keep the Eurocrats going, especially as mobile staff move to lo-tax regimes. It's inevitable within the next 15 years that the State, having sold everything it 'owns', will begin confiscating private assets under some trumped-up pretext. But first they need every bank account of every citizen to be on their cross-linked database to UKBA, HMRC, DSS, Council Tax, Police ANPR, DVLA etc.

    I really think you should chang your name to amclueless. I mean seriously. You start of with something grounded in reality, a base set of facts that the reader can link to and confirm for themselves.

    You then jump from that and use words like "Fact" "No doubt" "Obvious" etc and spin them around what can best be described as a work of fiction. You then conclude it with the phrase "All predicted of course" which uses the past tense to suggest your prophecy has already come true when nothing could be further from the truth.

    Oh, and lets not forget the 15 year timeframe you put on your prediction. Long enough so that you can keep quoting it without it ever actually coming true.

    Is there not a forum where you people can get together to discuss this sort of thing?

    Yep, it's the Davos forum where the elite internationalists gather to agree how to suppress and fleece the 'little people' they despise. And here. ;)
