Dominic Grieve has said it is “high time” Labour abandon their "ill-fated" ID cards project after Jacqui Smith unveiled the design of ID cards for foreign nationals.
The Shadow Home Secretary stressed, “ID cards are an expensive white elephant that risk making us less - not more - safe.”
And he said the Government were “kidding themselves” if they think ID Cards for foreign nationals will protect against illegal immigration or terrorism - as they don't apply to those coming here for less than three months.
A Conservative Government would abandon the ID cards project, and Dominic said he hoped Labour had taken that into account when they negotiated the contracts.
“If they have not acted on this to protect the British taxpayer, it is reckless in the extreme at a time of heightened economic uncertainty.”

....just in case they need reminding:
Frankly, it depresses me and sickens me. I certainly hope that the country wakes up and kicks this lot out before they can do too much more harm.
ReplyDeletePrecisely my thoughts. This is not a political blog, but the damage being wrought by Labour through its abject misunderstanding and wilful misuse of technology means that I find myself obliged to make an exception....
