High Immigration rate then.

I thought they maintained the immigration figures were much smaller than 1 million a year, but I suppose it helps the budget to show an income of between £300m and £600m per year entirely due to ID cards. Probably rounded up to the £600m figure. They may even pay for themselves!
With Christmas coming, I expect our government are probably writing many letters to Santa in the belief that he will sort this mess out for them, and if he doesn't there are always the fairies at the bottom of the garden in Downing St, or some oil lamps to rub.

It seems to me this is a burden being placed on the wrong shoulders. There is not an It system in the world that can stop an individual taking information in their heads and spewing out at the nearest undesirable third party.
