Why the **** should I spend more of my hard earned on another form of ID?
With apologies to teeteringhead....
Because in UK you don't have to have a driving licence .... you
choose to.
Because in UK you don't have to have a passport ... you
choose to.
Therefore, in this country, you can (by choice, and at present) have
absolutely nothing that proves your identity (nor, your country of origin/birth). And that's why the illegals love it here.....the government can't deport you back to whence you came if they can't prove where that is. I wonder how many Iraqi/Afghan/African etc (other category of immigrants are available) passports and/or identity cards are floating in the English Channel or sitting in a landfill in Kent....
