NTK reports that the Stand's efforts to get Britons to tell their MPs off about the proposed mandatory ID card is working:
When you left us last Friday: Lord Falconer, minister in
charge of ID cards, was claiming that his consultation was
showing a 2:1 majority in favour of them. By Monday, thanks to
your mails via stand.org.uk, the ratio must have been more
like 2:1 against. At time of writing, with over 4000 new
responses in one week, we'd estimate it's now something like
80% anti, 20% pro. David Blunkett, who was tipped to announce
growing public support for the project at a conference on
Wednesday, instead talked of cabinet splits, and "not wanting
a revolution" over the proposals. Isn't it always a surprise
when you log in to check your inbox after the weekend?
