I don't believe that the opportunistic europhile Liberal Dims mean much (if anything) of what they say above (in their latest policy statement).

First of all, the Liberal Dims are not going to be the next Government (or probably even a tiny part of it). They are going to lose alot of seats next time (50 of their 62 constituencies in the Commons are highly marginal) as the anti-Iraq 'war' protest vote returns (mostly) to Labour (which will have a new leader by then).

The question is - why has UKIP let these vile Liberal Dims give the impression that they (the Liberal Dims) and not UKIP were there first in their opposition to the authoritarian, costly and unwanted ID card scheme of the discredited control freak Blair?

UKIP was against the whole concept of ID cards and the intrusive ID card database long before Campbell's Fiberal Dims and the Conservatives were.

UKIP should not let the fanatically pro-EU Liberal Dims dominate ID card opposition. Especially as ID cards are the first step to the plan for an EU ID card. And the Liberal Dims adore the EU. UKIP should be saying that the Fiberal Dims can't have it both ways. They can't be against ID cards and for the EU at the same time.
