Janet Daley doesn't say much at all

Wednesday on this blog is Janet Daley day, and today's column is a rather lacklustre affair on ID cards and the Conservatives.

The headline, 'Howard has not sold birthright', gives you a flavour as does this sentence:

Well, sorry, but I'm not one of those stabbing the air, shouting "J'accuse".


In short her argument is that Britons are terribly lax on identity, not having (presumably she means until recently) photos on driving licences etc, and how in America everyone carries ID, so that's alright then. It's also popular with the public, and so that makes it doubly good.

As I said tame stuff for the Daleyster with nothing as absurd to match the democracy coming to an end in Europe, or Kensington and Chelsea turning into 1980s New York of recent memory.
