Letters to The Daily Telegraph on ID cards

Via the No2ID website came this link toLetters to The Daily Telegraph. Among them (and they are worth reading) is this one that probably speaks for an increasing number of people.
"I am disgusted at the proposal to spend £6 billion and more on this project.
This Government threw away £1 billion on that stupid Millennium Dome, is ploughing untold millions into the Olympic Games, and millions daily into the Iraq war - while hospices and air ambulances in this country get a pittance and depend on kindly individuals going around rattling collecting tins.
Air ambulances do life-saving work and hospices give care and love to those with life-limiting conditions. Why do we let our representatives fritter our money away and not help those who need it?" (Emphasis mine -'nuff sed)
