Howard backs down over ID card support

Telegraph | News | Howard backs down over ID card support:

“The Conservative Party will this week withdraw support for the Government’s identity cards scheme, in a major climbdown by Michael Howard. The Tory leader has told aides that the party will abstain from a key vote on the controversial proposals on Thursday.”

Will someone wake me up when the Tory’s return to basic Consevative principals, come out fighting such legislation which infringes personal freedoms tooth and nail?
