NO2ID :: View topic - Ind: Scrap ID cards now, say Cabinet rebels
>>Please don't assume that the ID scheme is a Labour project. It is a Home Office/Cabinet Office project, that has been political endorsement by the present administration. The most recent announcements from the IPS indicate that it has been reconfigured to hibernate during a hostile administration, but that there is a strategy to box in the Tories and force them to build at least some of the infrastructure as part of passport 'modernisation'.<<
