Have you read her views on ID cards?

Maggie was a great PM, she's a bit past it now.

[Peoplesoft bloke]

ID cards are an EU driven policy, the Tories won't scrap them. From day 1, they'll get the ministerial brief and they'll be 'advised' as to why there is a requirment for a National Identity scheme.

So they are liars.

So they are liars.

Unfortunately political manifesto's aren't contractual agreements, otherwise Tony Bliar would be penniless and begging in a street corner as we speak.

Which is odd since the German constitution specifically forbids the type of centralised database our loony government is pretending we need.

As indeed would John "We won't put up VAT" Major (and a cast of thousands of Labour and Tory lawyers...sorry politicians ....oh hang on, same thing - after all MPs are entitled to be silks automatically)

Are you referring to this:

National identity card (United Kingdom)
Reasons for introduction
Initial attempts to introduce a voluntary identity card were made under the Conservative administration of John Major, under Home Secretary Michael Howard. At the Labour party conference in 1995, Tony Blair demanded that ‘instead of wasting hundreds of millions of pounds on compulsory ID cards as the Tory Right demand, let that money provide thousands more police officers on the beat in our local communities.’[13] Although included in the Conservative election manifesto, it seems that the proposal was halted by a Labour party victory in the 1997 General Election.

She didn't say it would be as bad as the Great Anarchy of King Stephen.

She also didn't say the next budget will be as bad as the Great Geld of King William, but it will

No sooner was William crowned than 'he laid on men a geld exceeding stiff.' In the next year 'he set a mickle geld' on the people. In the winter of 1083-4 he raised a geld of 72 pence (6 Norman shillings) upon the hide. That this tax was enormously heavy is plain.

BTW, rumours are flying round Westminster that there will be a General election next Feb. Apparently Labour have booked loads of advertising space for then.
