ID cards 'to be UK institution'

The identity card scheme will become a "great British institution" on a par with the railways in the 19th Century, Home Office minister Liam Byrne says.

He said it was "time to get on with it" and predicted that the National Identity Scheme "will soon become part of the fabric of British life".

Well here's what I predict. Should ID Cards ever be introduced and I really doubt they will, rather than them becoming part of the fabric of our national life, the massive, co-ordinated campaign of civil disobedience will instead enter our folk-lore, like the Luddites, the Diggers and the Tolpuddle Martyrs. Prisons will fill with campaigners, doors will be slammed in the faces of officials, politician after politician will be scorned and humiliated. The scheme will be scrapped. Billions will have been spent. Nothing will be achieved. No one will be held accountable. This is, I think is far more likely than Liam Byrne's myopic vision of future conformity. Brace yourselves.
