Feature on Blair's announcement that the database (the real reason for ID cards, if anything is) will be trawled by the police to try and find suspects to old crimes.

A perfect example of lying by ministers, incompetent opposition who accept assurances rather than insisting on amendments (DOH!), Blair sticking his oar in, poor or duplicitous drafting, and the citing of totally meaningless "safeguards" by another government minister.

From The World at One, BBC Radio 4, 20 Feb 2007 13:00.

  • mini id card system is already in place it's like a product if there's demand they will supply it. I'll give you a example. citizens card. who needs one when i have other means of proving my identity. there's nothing cool about having this card but the reverse but hey if thee are blind you need them to see what you see. it's free for under 18's so when they start applying for them they will say there's a demand then it will be forced upon us.
