London School fo Economics director accuses Government of 'bullying' over their report critical of ID Cards. Home Secretary Charles Clarke said the study was "technically incompetent"... Mr Clarke said the findings of the study, published earlier this week were "fabricated" and did discredit to the LSE's reputation... he also accused one of the academics who helped to prepare the report of being "partisan" because he was already set against the cards... (Whereas, if he'd been in favour of them like Jumbo Clarke, he'd have been an 'unbiased seeker for the truth') 'Mr Clarke had branded the study as "mad" before he had even seen it,' Mr Davies added... Responding to the letter, a Home Office spokesman said Mr Clarke stood by his comments last week.
Sounds like a standard week in Her Majesty's Government to me.
