Doctor Who against ID cards?

Thanks to the successfully revived show I'm very easy to buy for at Christmas these days - and a good proportion of my presents came branded with the Doctor Who logo in several variations. I also got this card from Paperlink, drawn by Steve Best.

At first glance it is just a joke about relative dimensional properties of the TARDIS. A closer inspection, however, seems to reveal a subliminal message from the Doctor about Britain's plans for an ID card scheme. The sign on the door reads 'No 2 ID'

Well, stands to reason. Imagine the hassle you'd have every time you regenerated, trying to prove who you are and get the biometrics on your card updated.

Nah, it'd be no hassle - he'd just use the psychic paper.

I got this card for my birthday, too. And yes, the evidence suggests the good Doctor is right behind the anti-ID-card lobby - check this out:

I would expect no less from a free traveller across all time and space!

I like the joke.
Don't really what this no2id thing is.
