Former Home Sec. David Blunkett, who resigned over the nanny scandal and since leaving the cabinet has become a scribbler for the tabloid The Sun, forgets to mention all the facts.
He waves the flag for the ID cards, the cost of this particular white elephant is rising faster than the fag packet maths used to work out the Olympic bid for London.
Claiming that there was no way the cards could be copied - they said that about chip & pin and the banks were wrong on that one as well - and it would help reduce crime.
This from the man who gave us the community support officers!
Still he forgot to mention he has since last March been chairman of the international advisory committee of Entrust Inc, the Texas based security company which hopes to provide software for the UK ID cards system.
Why so quiet about that one?
All in all the UK public would have been better off had his guide dog Sadie been made Home Sec, instead of him.

Sadie? It would have better to have made Offa Home Sec. He was dead, and therefore a much safer option all round...
Agreed, or a plank of wood would have been a better Home Sec.
That said we have Jacqui Spliff/Smith as Home Sec and all she does is arse about and go for kebabs...
