It's strange how even the pro id cards people cannot give any real reasons why we should spend all this money to replicate and duplicate our existing forms of ID.

Exactly, it appears at the moment that they'll merely contain the exact same details as a driving licence.

Curious how there isn't a squeek about that story on Al JaBeeba (last time I looked)

We don't have an existing form of ID. We have a driving licence that confirms the driver of a vehicle is medically fit and was proficient in the skills required to drive a vehicle at the time of issue and we have a passport that confirms the holder is a citizen of the UK. Neither is compulsory.

Wasn't one of the earlier arguments from the pro ID card lot that the ID card was not compulsory! This goes round in circles. It replicates the existing information that is already available, adds loads more to it, is going to cost a fortune to implement and run and at the end of the day it will actually give us nothing and to top it off, it may or may not be compulsory. Brilliant! Where do I sign up.

I'd imagine those most in favour of ID cards are those preparing to clone them. Other than them I can't think of 1 reason at all why I would want/need an ID card - and neither it seems do the pro id card people.

Never heard that one myself. I reckon you're making it up.

I'm favour of ID cards and no, I'm not preparing to clone them. The ID card scheme isn't to benefit you or make your life easier.

So why should the government, who is supposed to serve me and the rest of the country acting in a way which won't benefit me or the rest of the country?
