A Peel commissioner says he’ll present a petition for redress of grievance next Tynwald Day unless the government starts discussing ID cards.
Rodger Gimbert says his fears about data privacy were first raised when his children were asked to give fingerprints to use their school library.

Mr Gimbert says it’s not good enough to simply let the UK decide such an important issue without debate here:
Death of MGP competitor deemed accidental by inquest
Flooding caused by 'sealed off' gulley, says Douglas Council
Sailings delayed after adverse weather affects Manxman crossing
Tour guides ask for tram reinstatement
Boss of DESC urges staff to “speak up” during Tynwald whistleblowing hearing
