Choice

Friday 7th March 2008

From Jacqui Smith's speech yesterday:

Delivering enhanced protections and improving security. Improving opportunities and making our lives easier. And enshrining choice in how we access these benefits. These, to me, are the issues we need to put at the heart of how we manage the national identity scheme.

In Jacqui Smith's Newspeak, Compulsion is Choice.

And, of course, War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery and Ignorance is Strength.
