Longrider laid into Blunkett's pro-ID card stance, I must admit I only skim read it and commented as follows:
"I don’t think that the ID card thing is particularly about power over the populace. The key to this is, there will be multi-billion pound contracts up for grabs, with massive profits for the lucky winning bidders, who might just make the rational calculation that a judicious donation of a million pounds or two to Nulab, plus a couple of directorships for ex-Cabinet ministers, could swing things in their favour …"
The last letter on the subject in today's Times spells this out a bit more clearly - to summarise:
DAVID BLUNKETT WORKS FOR ONE OF THE BIDDERS FOR THE ID-CARD CONTRACTS
F***ing hell, I knew these people were con-artists and thieves, I just didn't realise they'd be that blatant about it.

Good link. Blunckett has been building up to this for a while, the shameless bastard, hasn't he?
There are none so blind as those who cannot see.
Um... yes, it was the vested interest that was the point of my post... ;)
LR, yes, I know that now, but like I said, I only skim read it, serves me right for not following every one of your links!
