Oh come now ...

Oh come on now people, don't be so harsh to Ms. Smith.

She is obviously a world class security expert, so we should simply take her assertion that a system of sensetive personaldata collection that has yet to even be designed, let alone implemented, is secure!

Don't worry about the MI5 experts saying that ID cards would have no effect on terrorism, Jacki, as a highly skilled intelligence expert knows better than them, and assures us that the simple application ID-Card-Away(tm) will wipe all terrorism clean off our map.

We shouldn't worry about the panic inducing amounts of money being spent on this thing. I mean, they'd only waste it on boring stuff like decent police coverage or better schools or some such. We'll be far better off giving it to the usual corporate suspects. After all, the Labour government are going to need a retirement plan ...

... and as soon as %%%%ing possible as well !!
