Conservatives Pledge to Reverse ID Card Act
I see the Libdems (who have been virtually invisible for three weeks) are trying to make out that the Conservatives have backed off their opposition to ID Cards. Typical mischief making from the yellow peril. So I was glad to hear David Cameron say in the clearest terms today: "Labour's plastic poll tax has no place in modern Britain.It's an ugly monument to the waste, chaos and vanity of intrusive, over-mighty government. I promise you this….in office, we will pull it down." This repeats David Davis's firm commitment on the floor of the House of Commons recently.

Good to see that the Tories are finally coming round to one of UKIP's policies. Only a few dozen to go and you might be worth voting for again. Well done.
Interestingly UKIP seem to have had more media coverage than the Lib Dems this week - unless you count the Biased BBC, where one news item could have effectively have been a party political broadcast.
Pity your lot knuckled under to it in the Lords, then.
The Lords comment might be a bit harsh. If the Peers had voted against the 'compromise' then the overgrown dwarf would have used the Parliament Act to force it through.
Shit conference speech by DC though.
But does DC mean he'll do away with ID Cards only, or the even more sinister National Identity Register?
