The Tories and Identity Cards

No, of course they wouldn't abolish this wicked, demented scheme if it were already in place when they came to office! No government drawn from our Political Class would ever give up so direct a control over the population. For that, we need the emerging new party. Anyway, this was a Tory idea in the first place, and it was only the efforts of certain columnists and bloggers that stopped them from supporting it as a matter of policy. They are all for it really.

    I didn't realise until the other day that Michael Howard first publicly proposed ID cards.
    I doubt that he or any other politician - in this country at least - "thought it up''. It is the sort of thing a bureaucrat of a decidedly authoritarian stripe would conceive - the wet dream of former STASI officers. And you have to ask, what threat do we,the people of Britain, pose to our masters that they need to introduce something so far-reaching.

    Indeed.

    A schem of this kind in Australia was initially as popular as it is here now, but was successfully defeated. It can be done.
