Identity card scheme faces delay. Well what a surprise. Especially since we warned you nearly a month ago that the ID card scheme was going to run into problems.
Expect more slips, budget over runs and failures along the way. It's too bad, like the war in Iraq, that the government seems to sign itself a blank cheque for these projects. Those of us in the real world with finite pots of money have to cancel projects if they can't be paid for. If only this lesson was learned sooner when the government is in charge.
