"So are ID cards a real policy? It doesn?t look like it,
especially since the Government isn't rushing them into service,
despite the daily risk of an Al Quaeda outrage.

ceremony for new immigrants? Or the ban on fox hunting? Or the
plan to introduce guidelines on using the Internet? Or the plan
to march yobboes to cashpoints to pay on-the-spot fines? Or a
computer for every school pupil?"
