Boris Johnson: “It is perfectly obvious that the Government intends these ID Cards to one day be made compulsory. I want to make it clear that I will in no circumstances carry one and even were I compelled to do so, I would take it out and destroy it on the spot were I ever asked to produce it. It is a plastic poll tax that will do nothing to assist the struggle against terrorists and will hugely expand the powers of the state over the individual.”

Tuesday night’s vote on ID cards. Labour rebels, solid opposition from the Tories and Lib-dems. Labour majority reduced to 25.Oh what’s this? 41 (41!, jezuz ferkin xmas!) Tories didn’t vote including all 4 leadership candidates.What is the point…Yet another opportunity to inflict a severe drubbing to Labour and the Tories are so self absorbed they didn’t even notice.
