CAMERON GOES CROMWELL:

Scrap ID cards and build jails, say Tories (Melissa Kite, 18/06/2006, Sunday Telegraph)

The Tories would build more prisons and keep offenders behind bars for longer in a £15 billion plan to be paid for by the scrapping of identity cards.

The radical idea has been devised by David Cameron and David Davis as the Conservatives open up a new offensive on law and order.

Puritanism sells in the Anglosphere.
