Feel better now, thanks.
Yup, use the money you won't pay for an ID card to drown your sorrows as the true price to dismantle the system comes out. Especially as you can now expect the odd "racism" lawsuit as only those from outside the EU have to have one by law, so you can expect someone to use "Human Rights" (and, if someone does I will happily back you up) because the "British" don't have to carry one at all times.......
