And that's the analogy the Indy's editorial gives us for NIR and ID cards under the present government: "The Government's strategy on ID cards has been to turn up the heat slowly on us all. Foreign nationals will be the first to receive them; then Britons who work in tight security zones such as airports. People who renew their passports will be next to be given then. Eventually, a general roll-out."
With the editor I cheer the airline pilots' union's intention to strike against the introduction of them to airport-related workers. May their efforts be fruitful and may they not lose their nerve. Do I get an 'Amen'?
