Well, Muriel, the ID card thing made top billing this morning ...

... with Santa Charles being opposed by a couple of dozen "Please Mr. Bliar, Sir, Permission to say something?" tendency from the Christian Democrats, the Liberal Plutocrats (who will probably be enthusiastically in favour once the bill is actually passed), and the Libertarian and Flat Earth Chapter of the Party of the Night. I find myself in strange company these days!

Meanwhile, a good op-ed piece from Henry Porter in Friday's Guardian.

1. Such parallels to the repukes proposals!

Have you seen the movie "51st State"? There's a theory out there that the US has never really separated from GB that our treasuries are bound to each other.

3. Thanks for the reference to Henry Porter

Doesn't sound woolly-minded to me!

The moment Clark made that comment, I think we knew the government doesn't have a leg to stand on, and knows it. Launch an attack under the belt of your opponent if your argument won't hold water.

Adam Curtis sounds even more relevant today than when "The Power of Nightmares" first aired.
