We believe you. Thousands wouldn’t.

Oh. No. I lied. We don’t.
So we’re supposed to feel better because they’ve decided to leave making ID cards compulsory for another Act of Parliament? They’re still going insist on you having your fingerprints and iris scan added to a national database (the very thought of a national database brings me out in hives) if you want to get a passport from 2008 onwards. I’d better get mine renewed pronto.
Maybe I could try to get them to scan the wrong eye…
Eny fule kno that a voluntary ID card is the first step towards a compulsory ID card. Once the first stage is complete it’ll be that much easier for them to pass this second Act of Parliament. All we can do is hang on and hope that the usual happens and the owners of the feet walking the corridors of power decide to change political tack.
I’d love to think that a change in Government would make a difference, but they’re all the bloody same these days. I can’t even find it in myself to get too excited about the shock victory of the Lib Dems in Dunfermline and West Fife, although I expect my Mum and Dad probably consider it to be the first sign of the coming Apocalypse.
Hmm. Ming the Merciless as one of the Four Horsemen. There’s an Age of Apocalypse storyline Marvel hasn’t tackled!
