# but, there are apparently no savings to be made by scrapping it
because the projected cost (~£3bn) isn't funded by the taxpayer - it's funded by...the public!

a) £3bn is the apparent cost to the Home Office only. Nobody knows what it will cost to any other govt department (should any of them actually be interested)
b) the public are generally taxpayers

That's the the worst of it. hence 'will cost a fortune'.

I don't recall getting a vote on this, either....

Hmmmm *ponders*
