Bravo no2id :-)

When I first heard what Blair was going to create in the Freedom of Information Act, I thought my friend was kidding me on. Then I read it and thought, "Blair really hasn't thought this one through has he?!" I kept waiting for them to realise what they had done and quietly gut it without letting on; but they didn't. It became law.

You hear that distant clucking noise President Von Brun? That's the noise of approaching chickens, returning to their roost. I don't often look forward to reading government agency documents, but for this one, I will make an exception.

You never know, this might even screw down the lid on the whole NIR/ID Card fiasco.
