scrapping the NIR in favour of smaller databases...

'Home Secretary John  Reid said ID cards would help tackle illegal immigration, identity fraud, fight organised crime and terrorism, help protect vulnerable children by allowing better background checks and improve public services. They would not stop people having a fake identity, he conceded'

'He said he also wanted to tighten up exit controls at ports and airports, as well as entry requirements. "We want to count everybody in and count everybody out," said Mr Reid.'

'
Shadow Home Secretary, David Davis, for the Conservatives, said it was "beyond belief" that Mr Reid still planned to "waste up to £20bn of taxpayers' money on this expensive white elephant".'

'
Campaign group No2ID said "mixing up" new data with existing data meant the system would be "even less secure than originally suggested".'

Seems like maybe this was always a scam to help keep the foreigns out. Bob knows it ain't gonna help anything else.
But of course it's only the Muslim extremists who cause trouble, as we saw the other day...

Also seems to me if the Tories get in, and they scrap the cards, they won't have no NIR to keep hold of. Still don't want no Spine or passport biometrics myself. Still gonna argue.
