this is just another way of gordon implementing his 'stazi' like state by the back door. ID cards confer no benefit to anybody but the big brother state. Also given that the implementation of them costs 5 billion pounds and the tories and lib dems have both said they will cancel them if they come to power - i.e they will definately be cancelled by next year - then what is the point of the government keeping pushing them?
I'm glad that at least one section of our apathetic society is pushing back against a government who have hugely eroded our civil libities over the last decade. I support this and I'm going to refuse to have an id card.
