stupID

The Government has just announced that the ID card scheme will cost £5.4bn to set up and run for the first ten years of its operation.  Half a billion a year.

This is in line with previous government costings, i.e. a vast underestimate which is disbelieved by anyone who has come close to a government IT contract over the past decade.

Well, at least the Government’s reasoning behind ID cards is becoming clearer.  It’s all about immigration.  The older arguments are falling by the wayside, so we can now see the scheme for what it is.  Here is my mocked-up version of an ID card that can provide the same information required by the Government, at a much reduced cost.
