Great fun in the UK at the moment over the government’s attempts to introduce ID cards. Particularly with the LSE (London School of Economics) having published a report that warns on the first page:
"There was an overwhelming view expressed by stakeholders involved in this Report that the proposals are too complex, technically unsafe, overly prescriptive and lack a foundation of public trust and confidence."
Pretty damning stuff – and it gets worse from there on. It will be interesting to see if these proposals turn out to be Blair’s equivalent of Thatcher’s Poll Tax.
I particularly liked Steve Bell’s cartoon commenting on the proposals…
