Following Saturday’s call to arms that was the Convention on Modern Liberty, the question has been asked, “What next?”

Well in Liverpool, a Lib Dem Councillor has taken matters into his own hands. Tonight Cllr Colin Eldridge is putting a motion to the full Council meeting outlining opposition to the scheme.

“Liverpool City Council reiterates its opposition to ID cards for Liverpool residents and reasserts its opinion that the investment in ID cards should instead be invested in more police on the beat,” states the motion.

We’ll let you know whether the motion is carried.
