Jacqui Smith Is An Ethical Vacuum

The intellectual and ethical vacuum that is our Home Secretary, Jaqui Smith, has announced that ID cards will be 'piloted' in Manchester.

It will be interesting to see how many citizens will actually sign up for this 'popular' scheme at £60 a pop. Or will the Labour party be bunging its more braindead local members a sub to make the figures look less than dreadful? That's if any take-up figures are eventually released.

Despite the fact that this rancid government is in a state of putrescent collapse, and the economy likewise, the Home Office is ploughing ahead with this dishonourable, expensive amd dangerous project.

That equally rancid oaf, David Blunkett, keeps adding his bit by pretending that he's now against the very cards he pioneered a few years ago. Instead, he's promoting the biometric passport - in other words, everyone to have a passport rather than a separate ID card. And possibly make himself a few bob if it comes to fruition.

Do we really have to wait a year to get rid of these blood-sucking parasites?

Up Your Congested Innovation Charge

Voters have said no to the proposed congestion charge scheme in Greater Manchester.

“Despite this setback we will continue to work hard to ensure that Greater Manchester remains at the forefront of innovative thinking as a world class city region attempting to meet the environmental, economic and social challenges of the next decade and beyond.”

said Lord Peter Smith of The Association of Greater Manchester Authorities (AGMA).

Another bullshit merchant. Why? One word - 'innovative'.

The scheme was part of an application to get money from the Transport Innovation Fund.

Anything official using the word 'innovation' or 'innovative' is automatically bullshit and should be flushed immediately down the toilet. Which is just what the voters of Greater Manchester have done.

The question is: will the authorities do an EU-Irish on them and demand another vote (with bent rules)? No doubt Lord Peter and his mates will continue to 'work hard' to find another way to enforce a congestion charge on the citizens with or without the inconvenience of democracy.
