ID Cards are a laminated poll tax

finger print scan - no2id Marking today's introduction of ID Cards for foreign nationals, Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Campaigner for Folkestone & Hythe Neil Matthews has backed the opposition to the scheme by Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Huhne. Chris said:

"Forcing ID cards onto guests in our country marks a dark day indeed in British history.

"This hugely expensive scheme will have no impact on crime, terrorism, illegal immigration or illegal working as foreign nationals already have passports with visas. This intrusion on British liberty is completely unnecessary.

"Foreign nationals, who cannot vote, are perfect guinea pigs for a government wanting to test a deeply unpopular and unworkable policy.

"When the rest of us are forced to carry ID cards, this scheme will prove to be a laminated Poll Tax."
