If I remember my history correctly, churchill was loathe to introduce ID cards in the first place, but wartime circumstance dictated that it wuld be prudent. All the same he hated the idea and promised to rescind the decision to have them when the war was over. He never got the chance though as he was not re-elected.
RE: murdoch - what does he stand to gain? loads of crappy comic newspapers sold as the proles snatch up the super dumbed down version of events fuelled by simple simon style headlines in that miserable rag. The only saving grace for the sun are the tits on page three; at least they don't pretend to be anything other than what they are...
