A hobby for the Home Office

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

Hold the presses. The Ministry of Justice has an official Morris Dancing troupe.

Surely the Home Office can’t be outdone by its erstwhile colleagues? Surely a hobby is just what they need to keep them busy and stop them messing so many things up!

Suggestions please: what hobby should the Home Office take up? Tiddlywinks? Cheese-rolling?

You’re unique - the government says so

The Identity and Passport Service (the guys building the ID cards database) has a slogan:

Everyone’s unique. Let us keep it that way.

Thanks to Ideal Government I have finally realised the absurdity of this statement. Are they trying to suggest that without Identity Cards there would be an outbreak of cloning?
