BCSL has operated as an IT consultancy since 1984. The past five years have been spent campaigning against the Home Office's plans to introduce ID cards into the UK.

IPS – The Lost Enema

An everyday tale of simple Home Office folk whose lives are turned upside down when they are told to spend 5.4 billion pounds on an ID card scheme.

For years James Hall (Brian Rix) has run a harmlessly ineffectual little department hidden away in the corridors of power. Then his prankster boss Jacqui Smith (Jade Goody) makes a mistake – she agrees to do something – and all hell breaks loose. Is the Dark Lord Sir David Normington (John Malkovich) in cahoots with Raytheon (suppliers of Cruise missiles to the discerning gentry)? Why does the reclusive young mathematician (Marek Rejman-Greene) keep finding dying foreigners in his spare room? And can Ruth Kelly (Arthur Mullard) find the enema before there is a change of government and her arch-enemy David Davis (Sylvester Stallone) takes over? No.
