The scheme to impose Continental-style identity cards on the country have been set back and scaled down to meet the 2008 deadline, which critics are calling a face-saving exercise and leaked memos in the Sunday Times call "ignoring reality" and at best "remotely feasible."
Let's hope this is a wake-up call to Tony Blair that reminds him that the proper relationship is for the people to keep an eye on the government, not vice versa. If sanity prevails, the whole vile enterprise will be scrapped and Great Britain may retain some of her freedoms after all.

Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
