The Lords and the Liberals all hate the UK ID Card

The good thing about having an unelected second chamber is that debates on important issues such as the UK ID Card can take place without party politics having too much sway. The House of Commons may still be stuffed with enough New Labour career politicians to ensure the flawed ID card bill gets pushed through, but at least the nonagerians over the road still have enough nous to see the bill for what it is. As reported in Silicon.com, their Lordships have some serious concerns for our privacy.

The good old Lib Dems, meanwhile, with our Liberty their prime concern (and scoring points off Labour far from their mind, of course) have launced a website dedicated to opposing the ID Card. Will it make any difference? I doubt it, but I like it all the same.
