That's me persuaded.
Where do I subscribe to the newsletter/sign-up to the militia/send my personal cheque for ten thousand pounds?

Charles Clarke just appeared on TV and said that ID cards would not have prevented an attack like this.

It could well have been carried out by British terrorists, ie. who would have had perfectly legal ID cards.
