It’s worrying finding yourself on the same side as the bloody Tories in a political debate but I find myself increasingly there in recent years.
I wouldn’t never have believed it 10 years ago if someone told that I’d be agreeing with the views of the Conservative party on the issue of Identity Cards.
Thnakfully there are still Labour MPs such as Anne Begg that are prepared to ask hard questions of the Home Secretary in this debate but the likelihood of get a decent answer are unfortunately remote.
Every one of the arguments that Mr. Bercow raises are wrong are they. Well I’m afraid that simply asserting that doesn’t make it a reality. Surely that’s the purpose of having a debate so that people can raise points that you then convince with detailed arguments why they are wrong. Or, and I know this might be a hard concept to grasp Mr. Clarke but it’s just possible that dare I say it you might actually be wrong.
