Lies, Lies, Lies, Delusion and More ID Card Lies

According to Hillier*, the public wants the biometric cards, adding that Home Secretary Jacqui Smith is already being asked "When can I get my ID card?". (Silicon.com)

Of course we all do. Thirty quid a pop is not bad for something we don't need, didn't ask for, which will cost the country millions to run, cause untold problems, won't work properly, and be hacked into and abused by criminals.

Jacqui Smith's majority is a slim one (2,716) and there are rumours New Labour are trying to secure her a safe seat come the General Election Massacre. Perhaps we should get her husband to write letters to the local press asking her to quit politics so she can spend more time with her family.

* Meg Hillier (40): another professional (New Labour) politician - university, journalism, local government. According to Wikipedia: 'In March 2008, Meg Hillier voted with the Government in favour of nationwide Post Office closures, including 7 in the London Borough of Hackney of which her constituency forms a part.' Well done, Meg. Good to see you have the interests of your constituents at heart. Her pointlessness has already been noted.
