Another ID Card Defeat For Government.
The Lords has defeated the government for the fourth time on identity card legislation.
Liberal Democrat Lord Phillips of Sudbury said: "When I see the elected House coming to this place and saying to the country that that manifesto commitment, doesn't mean voluntary, it means compulsory, then I do actually believe that we have a duty then to say, 'No you don't'.
Home Secretary Charles Clarke told opponents to stop "frustrating the will of the people".
This is less about the will of the people than the will of Tony Blair and Charles Clarke.
Listen Up, You Sleepwalking Sheep
