ID cards 'good for going to bars'

The lying bastard also repeated the lie that fingerprints are a requirement for international travel they aren't.

Young people should take up identity cards as a "convenient" way of proving their age in nightclubs and bars, a Home Office minister has said.

Meg Hillier said the cards would also make it easier to prove identity at the post office when picking up parcels.
