People 'can't wait for ID cards'

[TheBigYinJames]

incognito and dim prawn on here were in favour of id cards iirc. I never heard a cogent argument indicating any real benefits. Often people mention other countries having them, but other countries haven't solved their crime and illegal immigration issues by having id cards so what are they really for?

Keeping track of you and your nefarious ways.

If anyone is interested, there's a Home Office paper on ID cards here on Wikileaks.

Identity cards are stupid because in order to get one you have to prove your identity. If I can do that why would I need the card?

MOST British people are looking forward to having a policeman stand on their windpipe, the home secretary said yesterday....

Honestly, I can't see the problem with them. If it meant I din't havr to carry a passport and a driving licence around with me, you know just had one card for everything?

I'm sure that you lot have perfectly good reasons for not wanting them but me, I don't see what the big deal is.
