The Tories abstained from a crucial vote on the scheme, though some of their backbenchers joined Labour rebels and Lib Dems in opposing the measure.

Tony Blair says the proposals are "long overdue" and are the best way to fight terrorism, organised crime and immigration abuses.

The Identity Cards Bill will introduce a single, universal ID Card for all UK citizens.

Tory fools. If only they'd voted no instead of abstaining.


Now the only hope for stopping this illiberal, ill-conceived, & vastly expensive nonsense rests with the Lords...
