The BBC reports an interesting angle on the expected debate on ID cards. The Scottish Parliament (with it's Labour majority) voted against the introduction of ID cards. Will Scottish MPs in Westminster take their lead and also vote down the proposals or abstain or vote for them despite the wishes of their Scottish Parliament?
Peter Hain also suggests that public opinion broadly supports ID cards. As soon as you point out these ID cards will cost £85 each, people suddenly become distinctly less supportive!!

Ah but the population in Scotland is declining so quickly that soon everyone will be able to recognise everyone else, so they won't need ID cards.
But worse still, the stink is that ID cards will have to apply in Scotland even though they have been soundly (and rightly) rejected here.
