ID cards

Asked about the discrepancy in the Home Secretary’s interpretation of public opinion polls on the issue of the ID cards, where the actual results reflected a drop from 79% support to 73% support rather than a rise as the Home Secretary had suggested, the PMOS said that the difference between the numbers was only 6% and any policy with over 70% public support after more than a year showed considerable public support. The Home Office would deal with the particular matter of what the Home Secretary said, but over 70% was a pretty solid base of support.

  1. Of course, he who pays the questioner writes the question. I’m sure I could write questions that would gain 90% support for locking up all children to protect them from p\xE6dophiles, if I could be bothered\x85
