If it's the first half of the month then it must be time for a news report that ID Cards won't happen. However, it's way too soon to be hopeful that this is the end of the issue. At every step of the way those in favour of the scheme have ignored the massive public disapproval towards the scheme and the reports that have said it won't do anything to deal with the problems that it's claimed they would solve if brought in. Even now Tony Blair has tossed the issue to John Prescott, as David Blunkett has failed to sell the idea it's down to Prescott as chairman of the Domestic Affairs Committee of the Cabinet to try and manufacture, sorry investigate, a reason for why the Government should bring ID cards in.
