How will ID Cards help this?

As usual, this Government is going for the wrong target, with the wrong weapons.

Everyday crime and fraud are far more significant to most people, especially now that they have spread worldwide via the Internet and cheap international phone rates.

We badly need a way for individuals to verify the identity of other individuals during phone calls or emails.

The Government's expensive ID card scheme will do nothing to help this because it is designed to help only the State. However it will wreck our liberty.

Parliament really needs to do something useful for once.
