Story: Home secretary defends high-street biometrics plans
Obvious why she's in favour
There are several reasons why someone as dumb as Smith would want to push ahead with the ID card. An interesting one might be the same as Yosser Hughes ‘gis a job!’
Is she perhaps looking to the not so distant future? Inept though she is, she not so useless as to become a European Commissioner. So maybe, to go with her 'Severance Peerage', she's on the look out for a few non-executive directorships, possibly on the boards of one or more of the supporters of the 'Parliamentary Information Technology Committee', (PITCOM) http://www.pitcom.org.uk
Some might say Associate Parliamentary Groups (APG), are a means for those with vested interest to ‘cosy up’ to those supposed to protect the public's interest, and as such form an insidious part of our political system.
It is the corporate members of these charitable APG's who, apart keeping the odd ex-minister off the dole queue, fund (via their subscriptions) those boring fact finding trips to 'mega economies' such as Tahiti' and 'The Bahamas', that our parliamentarians find so edifying.
I wonder why the expression "pigs at the trough" springs to mind?
If there are no vacancies at PITCOM, there are dozens (perhaps hundreds) more APG’s (All Pigs Grunt) to choose from.
