A numbers game

Here’s fun:

The projected cost of the identity card scheme will be £5.612bn over the next 10 years, the Home Office says.

Write that number down and put it somewhere safe. We’ll get together in a few months’ - maybe a year’s - time and have a good, long, hollow laugh at it.

    An accuracy of 0.04% over 10 years? Amazing.
