Clegg pledging to fight ID cards
The BBC reports:
The new Lib Dem leader has pledged to campaign “tirelessly” against “expensive, invasive” ID cards in 2008.
Nick Clegg said the recent data loss “scandals” had created a lack of public confidence in the government’s ability to look after personal information.
In a New Year message to his party, he said: “So let 2008 be the year we bring down the identity cards scheme.”
