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.
I see the political monkeys have trouble with their native language. Nice to see they have lost the argument to such an extent that they are saying that an idea THEY thought up, involving THEIR departments, has nothing to do with them!!
Otherwise, it's almost as comical as Gordon Brown saying, during his "apology" over the smears from his own advisers, "I take full responsibility for what happened and that is why the person who was responsible went immediately".
