Quote from lackey Jackies department this moring on BBC R4 (Today), 'no one will be forced to hold an ID card'...........der....what about all those at MAN / LCY?
Actually she is right (Although it pains me to say it) You are not being 'forced' to hold a National ID even if you are in aviation. You will be required to produce one to obtain the Disclosure Scotland criminal checks. If you don't have one you will not get the check and in turn will not get the Airport ID. However, You will not be forced to get one, it will be by choice. Having made that choice you will have to suffer any consequences.
I agree with the majority who believe that its Hobsons choice. In the Governments mind though it does not constitute force or compulsion.
Hope that makes sense.
The fight goes on......
