Excellent new post by Old Holborn IMHO if you’re interested, on the subject of ‘nothing to hide’.

Say no to ID cards.

Please tell me this is a joke.

I mean, I have blogged often enough that they are incompetent at the basic tasks aof governing, but this is just unbelieveable!

BQ – what about the travel database?

Stu – no idea, but it sounds plausible, doesn’t it! I mean who could spend £12bn on an NHS computer system which still doesn’t work after ten years? New Labour, that’s who.

Is that serious?

Christ. Almighty.

At least I can say that I was right that our Government is far too incompetent to be totalitarian…

Stars are gathering for the award of the “Dougies”. They are BAFTA [Bloody Awful Foolish Thrashing Around] awards for blind obstinacy in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Awarded annually since 1915, the nations first winner was Field Marshall Douglas Haig for his part in formulating the Somme offensive of 1916. {He also won the following year with his 1917 attack in the Flanders mud.}
Lord Lamont was nominated for his part in Black Wednesday, while Tony Blair was a deserved winner in 2003 for WMD.

Identity minister Meg Hillier’s ID card is scheme is leading this years nominations, in what is a tough field with the NHS database, the VAT cut, and Gordon Brown’s trying to insist that ‘British jobs for British workers’ was only about enterprise training.
