Guess what? We've got a home secretary with a touch of common sense!

I know, I'm as stunned as you!

Charles Clarke has said that ID Cards wouldn't have stopped the London bombings.

Of course, he goes on to say they'd be a good idea anyway, but then if he hadn't, Blair & Brown wouldn't have been too happy with him. I bet he's skating on thin ice just saying what he has.

I can't help thinking that the ID Card trials will go on for ever, then it'll be buried once Gordon takes over at the next election. There's too much bad feeling about them, no-one will sign up for them. It'll be Labour's Poll Tax: No-one wants to pay, no-one's got one, can't prosecute 60 million people...oh forget it then.

In the meantime, it's just two more days before my Broadband comes back on. Can't wait!
