A quote from our Tone back in 1995!

"Instead of wasting hundreds of millions of pounds on compulsory ID cards as the Tory Right demand, let that money provide thousands more police officers on the beat in our local communities"

Do you have a source for that quote? I'd love to show it to my MP!

You could do worse than http://www.liberty-human-rights.org.uk/privacy/id-cards.shtml

Of course, Bliar is justifiably famous for doing this. For instance

2005: "I am passionately pro-European; I always have been". Always, Tony?

1983: "We'll negotiate a withdrawal from the E.E.C. which has drained our natural resources and destroyed jobs."

...but you can be sure that

"I will do whatever I think necessary to cling to power"

has the distinct ring of truth about it.

Yeah, I've already included it in a letter to my MP.
