Story: Home Office aims to drive down cost of ID cards
More Rubbish.
They must have found a very leading question to come up with 60% in favour, probably on the lines of "If the card were free would you be in favour of an ID card so that we can stop nasty terrorist type people coming into the country" Followed by "How much would you pay" which would then give them the statistics and to say that cost is a large factor stopping people giving full support.
Asking and expecting the industry to bail them out works. Just look at the way the banks passed on the interest rate cuts to mortgages. Worked for Darling Brown. Oh it didn't. Still there is always the positive example of how quick fuel prices drop with the barrel fluctuations after NuLab asked the companies to pass on savings. Oh Hang on that didn't work either.
Maybe this smacks of desperation as in "Have faith because someone somewhere will make it right, we watch the movies you now and some of our friends are in show biz."
Re Benefit fraud - ID cards would not make up for the fact that the system is crap as are the perpetrators, DWP or whatever they are called nowadays. I have made savings due to pension wipe outs thanks to this NuLab crew. As a consequence, now I am job hunting again, my benefit entitlement, having stuffed over £3K into the system with Tax and NI over the last 3 months of work is £60 per week for 6 months full stop, absolutely nothing else and if I don't bend over quick enough on the bi weekly visit, they threaten to stop that.
Thanks to the NuLab laws we can now work on until death but that doesn't help if there are no suitable jobs and if there are they wont hire you due to age, sorry over experience or was that experience (presumably of Play School) not current enough.
It is quite alarming that even with mass communication, in a very short relative time period, this lot have been able to do more damage to the country than 2 world wars.
