Simon Carr's column in the Independent today simply sets out why the Government's position that ID Cards are important to control our borders. Shepway Lib Dems continue to campaign against the introduction of ID Cards, with a number of members joining the www.no2id.net campaign to renew passports early. Simon Carr said:

"The Prime Minister says that without ID Cards we can't control our borders. Will someone please tell him that border control is why we have passports. Repeat it - passports!

"People can be monitored coming in and out by their biometric passports. And the working visas that get stamped in them to control access to jobs. Whatever happen to be the virtue of ID cards, controlling illegal immigration isn't one of them."
