What does Jacqui Smith know about what is going on in the country which she is suppose to be ruling over? (I do wish I could write the word "serving"!) Very, very little it would seem. I do not think she mixes that much with people who are not part of her circle or her political party. This question has not really been thrashed out fairly in parliament either. That is why her decision is wrong. If there was a private firm offering, for a sensible reason, ID cards - some schools do this, for instance - I would make sure I had one. ID is most useful at airports, for instance. I trust the bank with my money and my library with my home address: I have cards for both. I chose to. But trust this lot with my most intimate details? I don't think so somehow. This, believe it or not, is an amplification of the problem caused by the growing insulation and dictatorial powers being assumed by the government.

Is there anybody out there that thinks she and her colleagues knew nothing about the Stalinist arrest of a political opponent? If labour win the next election, we might as well leave the country in search of a free society, and move to North Korea. You would have to be mad to believe anything this woman says.
