Support for identity cards falls
PRESS ASSOCIATION
Thursday, December 11, 2008
The number in favour of ID cards fell 5% in three months. In August this year 60% of those questioned said they supported the scheme, but by November that figure was 55%.
Opposition to the £4.7 billion scheme grew by 2% in the same period to just over a quarter.
Some 42% of those questioned thought ID cards wouldn’t disrupt terrorists and 39% thought they wouldn’t stop illegal immigrants. Of those opposed to ID cards, a third said they would be an infringement of civil rights, and a quarter thought they were a waste of money.

But 73% said they would help people working in secure locations prove their identity.
Home Office minister Meg Hillier said: “Our research shows that over the last 18 months, support for the National Identity Scheme has remained high averaging 60%.
“We are committed to carry on the work to communicate the real and recognisable benefits identity cards are starting to bring.

60% my ar%e.
You’ve gotta love our government and their statistics!
They must throw a dice and multiply it by some other random number to make it hit the number they want. Perhaps they multiply it by the fictitious jobless total and then divide it by the fictitious number if illegal immigrants they say we have over here.
Never mind they’ll be out soon

i wouldnt be so sure basslardy, and the way david cameron calls himself a traditional fiscal conservative then begins talking about giving the bank of england even greater independence does that fill you with any kind of confidence in “change”? Gordon brown said recently that you’re in more danger if you carry a knife than if you don’t. so i guess he subscribes to the view that if you carry a mobile phone the police will come save you before you bleed out onto the pavement! haha. what an idiot. I want the conservatives in if only for the reason of people being able to see that they really are just another management team in this dying country of ours.
