A Ray of Sanity

From the Telegraph:

Tony Blair's flagship identity card scheme, which has almost doubled in cost to £5.5 billion, could be the first casualty of a Gordon Brown premiership.

Jack Straw, who as Home Secretary vetoed an ID card, yesterday dropped the clearest hint in his role as Mr Brown's campaign manager that the scheme could be dropped.

Let's hope that it's true.

I'd far rather use the Magna Carta image more often than the Ingsoc one, thank you.
