Scathing parliamentary reports on ID cards

The Joint Committee on Human Rights (JCHR) and the House of Lords Constitution Committee have produced scathing reports criticising the UK government's ID cards proposals.

The JCHR report offers a detailed analysis of how the ID cards breach the Human Rights Act and the Constitution Committee say the scheme fundamentally alters the relationship between the individual and the state. The government, as per the previously mentioned thinking trap, have got their hands over their eyes and fingers (or probably thumbs) in their ears.
