I’m not going to shut up about this ID card thing, OK. There haven’t been any comments from anyone purporting to be in government on my last piece so I presume that the civil liberties argument is still languishing under the carpet
So today we present the technical and economic arguments against ID card courtesy of the Register. In ID cards: a guide for technically-challenged PMs they point out that biometric IDs may not actually be the panacea for spotting people who are a little bit naughty as promised by our leaders. Oh, and the whole thing is going to cost a fortune because large government projects virtually always go way, way, over budget.
In the words of Ben Folds – I wan’t my money back, now.
As it is large government projects that have been paying my wages – who am I to complain at another one!! Yes dear it will cost a fortune.
You sound like a troublemaker. Don’t worry, Blunkett will get around to your kind sooner or later – you’ll get yours.
I would have put a smiley in, only I’m not sure that it’s funny.
