Hearing != listening.

“on 28 April, Beverly Hughes, Minister for Citizenship and Immigration, responded to a parliamentary question about ID cards and only mentioned the earlier 2,000 responses.

She said: “The responses have been about 2:1 in favour of introducing a scheme”.

In late May Home Secretary David Blunkett seemed to signal that the government was determined to introduce ID cards. He bluntly declared: “I want them because I do want to know who is here.”

Stand is now trying to get official word about what will be done with the 5,000 responses it passed on.”

Unbelievable.
