THE controversial ID card is being scrapped.
Angela was the first member of the public to buy one, for £30, when they were launched last year.
Now her piece of plastic will be worthless.
Listen to her with Jeremy Vine on Radio 2 (slide along to 7 min 30 secs) as she explains why she bought one – and why she’s so angry they’re being ditched.
Angela today became the first member of the public in the UK to get her ID card.
But it nearly didn’t happen – because of a plaster on her finger.
Angela had burned her fingers preparing roast potatoes. And the scanner taking her dabs couldn’t read her fingerprint properly through the plaster.
She’s been an outspoken supporter of the controversial £4.7 billion scheme, although the Tories say they’ll ditch the cards it if they win power in the General Election.
More to follow on this.
If the question’s “How do I sell my story?” then the answer’s just a click away.
