TrickyTrev Posted 18 May 2005 Share Posted 18 May 2005 "They" do come up with more and more bizarre ways to waste our money don't they? 10/10 for this one, a counter terroism measure that will take a decade to implement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here the "they" are Government who are supposed to serve the People, I am not sure that happens any more. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anish Posted 18 May 2005 Share Posted 18 May 2005 Just another excuse for delving into people's personal lives. Completely cost-inefficient, just like many things that the government does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 18 May 2005 Share Posted 18 May 2005 A lot of money for something that will take so long to come into effect. Would I have a problem having one, the answer is no.

If you haven't got something to hide I don't see the trouble with it. 111011[/snapback] If I am walking about as an innocent subject, which I do, why do I need to give any information to the Government, which they will abuse, and why do I need to identify myself. If I am not doing anything illegal how can any Government have the right to start poking into my private affairs even if that is just to go to Waitrose. It is an internal Passport in the old Soviet-style. I know why so many East Europeans come to the UK, it reminds them of the old days. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can pry into my life as much as they want. Why do I care if they know I go to waitrose/tesco? It isn't going to make any difference. I think the fact that the police could stop someone dodgy in the street and instantly know who that person is can only be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 19 May 2005 Share Posted 19 May 2005 Firstly, I've nothing to hide, so on that point I don't care. Secondly, as someone who still gets asked for ID ( ) it doesn't bother me. Although this then raises the question that my driving licence is sufficient in this case, and the proposed ID card looks very similar, why don't we just use that as an ID card instead? Without all the extra crap they want like biometrics etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
