Order of the Bath

I will try to keep my remarks polite now that they have passed the ludicrous bill about ID cards. Here are a couple of points to ponder.

The nearest Passport Office to Penzance, a place with which I have some affinity, is Newport, Wales. According to the terms of the bill, you will be required to visit a passport office to be photographed and fingerprinted.

The chances of the Home Office establishing the necessary IT systems to support the National Identity Register by 2008 are virtually zero.

For further thoughts see my old but still valid rant about the idea.
