johnnyboy - Property of Her Majesty's Government (ID Cards)

[Corin]

Bring back Maggie Thatcher, she knows how to sort this country out.

With advice from her close friends General Pinochet, Conrad Black, and Geoffrey Archer, all who have been charged with criminal activity?

Birds of a feather? Or just like minded individuals?

You REALLY ARE having a bad weekend, aren't you, Jaron.

The gentleman to whom you refer is spelled with a J and not a G.

The second word is "off", you braindead idiot.

I fail to see why you'd want him to take his trousers off, Nick!

[Nick Harvey]

The way his (totally useless) brain and his typing fingers are failing to co-ordinate in the last few days, I doubt he'd be any the less agile with his trousers round his ankles.

[Corin]

So a convicted criminal is a gentleman is he? That is not the usual Conservative view on felons.

At least we are all agreed on the type of company that Madame T kept, ie criminal or alleged criminal, accused of murder and kidnapping.

Thatcher:
I like Conrad Black because he is the only person I have ever met who makes me feel positively 'wet'.

Nick, I don't mean to be controversial but I have a really strong feeling this Corin fellow is NOT Jaron Brass.

Nick's the one being controversial, everyone KNOWS he isn't :roll:

Well I see it's not been picked up yet, but the Lords have accepted a deal that means anyone applying for a passport before January 1st, 2010, won't have to get an ID card. They will, however, have to submit biometric information to be stored on the passport and - yes, you've guessed it - on the national register too!

In all honesty I can't see it being a hell of a lot better, but at least for the next 13.75 years the police won't be able to demand my papers on the spot.

Unless...

Since it's the Register that I principally oppose (although I'm not too happy about the card either), this isn't good news!

Therefore the House of Lords are a bunch of fuckwits. QED.
