ID Card Plans Dropped... For Now!

The ID Card Bill was dropped by Government when they announced the forthcoming election. However, the Home Secretay said that if Labour won the election they would re-introduce the legislation.
Tens of millions of pounds have been spent on preparing for the introduction of this legislation. Lots of companies are lobbying for the ID scheme and the massive profits that will accompany it. The Government claims that polls carried out by MPs in their constituencies show 80-90% public support for the ID scheme.
If the Labour Party win the general election we know we will see the reintroduction of this legislation and if the Conservative Party win they are certain to pursue a similiar policy.
The Price of Liberty is Eternal Vigilance!
