ID cards: bee’s knees or dog’s breakfast?
June 23rd, 2005
Gilbert and Sullivan are smiling down at this wonderful skit on the forthcoming national ID card fiasco . It covers all the bases - civil liberties, unproven biometrics, government’s appalling tech procurement record, commercial use of private data - and I especially like the way national identity changes to notional identity in the last chorus.
Still if Mr Clarke says it’s the bee’s knees, then it will be, eh?
Via James Governor at Monkchips . Well spotted, sir.
