"People who don't like ID Cards are like women with PMT." Oops, sorry, they didn't say that either. But they were thinking it. Maybe. Anyway, while Shiteyes is busy being fitted into his Daredevil costume for the next Fathers 4 Justice stunt, one of his lackeys has been busy telling the world that anyone who is complaining about ID Cards is doing so because they're wrong.
At a Home Office press briefing in London, he said people would not be required to carry an ID card... "We're bringing together information about someone that is known to government or in the public domain, allied to biometric info. It won't contain medical or tax records, the bill precludes that. This is not a Big Brother database,"... Browne today said that ID cards are "no panacea - and we never said they were" in the fight against terrorism.
So, they don't help fight terrorism, you don't use them to access services and you're not required to carry them. They cost a lot. I see these as bad things (to be fair, I see most of these things opposites as bad as well). What exactly have I misunderstood?
