People 'can't wait for ID cards'

[Incognito]

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?

That's not what I said, I said the ID card won't benefit you personally, but the concept and idea behind the ID card scheme will benefit society as a whole. At least I think it will, I'm sure you don't think it will so there's no point getting into it.

Who cares what we(i.e. the UK) think - it will come in anyway.

So, threaded, realising that the 'minestrone' sockpuppet is outed, swaps to the 'igognito' persona...

Erm, that's a little weak.

Smacks of the lesser intellects.

Would you please quantify what benefits the card will bring to society as a whole, because I for one can't think of one.

The card won't replace passports or driving licences, it will require a massive overarching all inclusive database which will make all of our details vulnerable and we will all have to pay to obtain a card that we simply don't want.

I see no positives and lots of negatives to this ID card scheme.

The government says although it will be compulsory to have ID cards but it won’t be compulsory to carry them. Mr Illegal Emigrant and Mr Bomber will get 14 days to produce aan ID card at a police station by which time they will be long gone. Meanwhile at the bank Mrs Higgins a known customer for 30 years can’t get any money out because her ID card was stolen. Mr Undinggo who has a forged ID card just opened up his bank account.

Which, under Nu-Liebor, is as it should be. You must be a terrorist to question these things.

Now, sit still, on that tube seat there, (what you got a seat, something definitely fishy 'bout you,) whilst we shoot you in the head, with no warning.

It's only fair.

I've been here long enough to have made my views clear, I can assure you I'm no-ones sockpuppet unlike you who has 70 posts since 2006. Been building up your other identities perchance?

You want to know my arguments search my post history.

Seriously, if you've got nothing better to do than this, then consider

Whs, come on Purple Dalek, whose sockpuppet are you?

Is that as in
"the concept and idea of communism" will benefit society as a whole?
