... Most of us in the UK want to keep the government at arms length and preserve the concept that the state is subservient to the people ...
ROFLMAO x 2, nee times bloody 100!

Nowhere in Europe is your average citizen surrounded by more rules, regulations, surveillance, restrictions, mandatory this, compulsory that than in the UK. That statement has got to take the biscuit as the most misleading of the year 2009, which admittedly is still young.

But you guys hold on to your notion that the UK state is subservient to it's citizens, and if refusing to have an ID card makes you feel all fluffy and warm, more power to your elbow. Put, please, find a more solid argument than that one.
