As a general point of principle ID cards are ok with me. I already have umpteen of them. But this seems an entirely politically timed scheme, and another timing misjudgement with Labour.

If it is an answer I have no idea what the question is. Just another poltical white elephant to waste more money, or feed the poltical elite.
