I see that Two Tier is going to introduce compulsory ID cards in the near future to stop illegal immigration and workers etc. What a joke, they haven't the stones to do this!

[Steven P]

Probably not a bad thing, the Conservatives ditched the idea but I don't see any real issues, if you consider that most of us have a passport, a driving license, are on the electoral role, have a phone that logs our location 24 hours a day, our earnings are known, all benefits we get are in the system, hospital and medical records, mortgages and loans, and of course the social media that we fill up often with drivel. It isn't as is any of us are living under the radar as it might be.

 

So having another card, no big issue... Unless you arn't entitled to use the UK and its systems then it might be an issue.

 

We are all old men generally, certainly grumpy enough to be, with even older parents... who are generally giving up their driving and foreign holidays - a real benefit to them to have some sort of ID. On the flip side, generally not old enough to have ditched any kids and perhaps remember them setting off in life, no drivers licenses and not always a passport, again a real benefit to the young.

It’s moot point. But what are they actually going to do if you haven’t got a card? Send you back home? Or insert you into the never ending loop of the EHCR legal system?

[Mark Bolam]

That, Capetown, is the problem.

I cannot see any issue with ID cards.

Personally,  neither have I, even further,  I think everyone should have their dna recorded and stored for used in detection of a crime too. But, there is a section of the community believe that carrying an ID, is against their rights to anonymity! 

[Mark J]

If the authorities want to find out who you are they can, and will, if you get pulled.

I don't think mandatory ID cards should be a thing.

Why should we carry ID? There are loads of places in the world where you need to prove who you are. I like the fact I can walk out the house with a wedge of cash in my pocket and do what I please.

I can introduce you to two lads I work with often, both from Rostock, they might have something different to say having grown up in the old East Germany. 
Not that you’d listen mind but they do give some idea of what state overreach is like.

ID cards are still needed in Germany.
