"The Government’s controversial identity card scheme is in jeopardy, with Whitehall officials accusing ministers of ignoring reality, according to leaked e-mails. Officials are openly questioning whether the scheme can be tested and delivered by 2008 as promised... David Foord, the ID card project director at the Office of Government Commerce, says: "This has all the inauspicious signs of a project continuing to be driven by an arbitrary end date rather than reality.” He doubts that the cards can by delivered in two years. “I conclude that we are setting ourselves up to fail.” - The Times
Labour do not do Formula 1.
However I seem to remember that the man who does is a friend of their's.

Well good I hope the government runs this project into the ground where it belongs!, but this won't be of course until millions in tax payers money is wasted on it first in true 'New labour' fashion.

Labour do not do F1, but they know a man who can! Bernie Ecclestone's face on the C5 driver would complete the picture!
