Tories At Risk From Splinters

February 10, 2005 3:18 PM

"The Tories are inconsistent on ID cards and are turning into a shambles" commented Graham Oakes.

The Lib Dem Spokesperson had previously explained why ID cards were bad for South Dorset, opposing the position taken the Tories and Labour.

He believes police numbers, particularly in rural areas, would be cut if ID cards were brought in.

Today the Tories have announced they have withdrawn their support for ID cards.

"The Tories will get splinters in their bums if they jump on and off any more bandwagons" commented Graham Oakes.
