Blunkett Wants UK Government To Can ID Card Project

Our Comments

As the former Home Secretary, he knows that his words count and perhaps his suggestion could be useful. The ID Card project is quickly becoming a massively expensive endeavour. But then it is better to have two pieces of identification rather than one.
