Common Sense

Hallelujah – it’s always good to see a dollop of common sense breaking out.

This time, Stella Rimington, the former head of MI5, has said that identity cards will not make the UK safe from terrorism.

“My angle on ID cards is that they may be of some use but only if they can be made unforgeable – and all our other documentation is quite easy to forge.

“If we have ID cards at vast expense and people can go into a back room and forge them they are going to be absolutely useless.

“ID cards may be helpful in all kinds of things but I don’t think they are necessarily going to make us any safer.”

Of course, the Labour government have just come back and said “She’s entitled to her view”.

    And that’s because Tony runs a dictatorship in almost every sense of the word, his opinion is all that matters. I personally do not want an ID card
    a) because I don’t like the idea of Big Brother watching me
    b) because I don’t want an EU passport style thingy (the EU sucks)
    c) because I will have to pay for not only my own, but all the scruffy little uneducated lay b******s who don’t work to have one too.
