For all you people that say you have nothing to hide, your walking into a police state blindly. Its not about having nothing to hide its about civil liberty, I may have nothing to hide but I wouldnt want the government knowing all my medical history, ability to track where I go etc
If you have nothing to hide why don’t you let the government install cameras in your house? If you have nothing to hide why don’t you tell us all your secrets? No? Didn’t think so, like I said its about civil liberty and privacy.
It depends what exactly is on the cards

Any other information I would regard as a breech of my liberties. I would have no problem carrying such a card, I had to carry IDduring my time in the army.

You won’t have a choice – and if we’ve nothing to hide, I don’t see the problem in carrying and ID card.
Add: it’s not the ‘thin end of the wedge’ – if you don’t think the Government already has the ability to access our medical records, track our movements etc, you’re naive

I won’t refuse to carry it, but I am against the scheme as generally it seems a waste of money. The problems that it claims to solve, such as petty crime and immigration, won’t be worked out as the people with something to hide will find a way around the cards

wait till they perfect the V-Chips
They move fast. At first it was strictly for medical purposes.
Then it was for security purposes (government).
Then for financial purposes (banks).
Now it is for COMMERCIAL purposes ( buying and selling)

of course i have nothing to hide and as for civil liberty i dont see how it can affect it, anyone can get hold of as many details of mine as they like just by going through the trash or checking public records.

As a Brit living in Spain I welcome these ID cards.
If it is the same as here, everyone who enters the country has to be fingerprinted and all their records from previous countrys given before they receive the ID card. Without the ID card they are sent back to their own country.
The only way around it is marriage but even then they have check-ups and it can still be difficult.
If you have nothing to hide then it should not be any problem. Just another card you have to carry with you in between the mountain of store and credit cards.
But at least you know that, the Government knows exactly who is in the country at any given time. Its more safety in my opinion. In Spain you need this card to do everything, open a bank account, by liquor, by fags, go travelling within Spain, casinos, clubs etc. Its so much easier.

The ID Card should be a Yellow Six Pointed Star that you wear outside to let people know that you are now formally a slave to the British Nazi Party, sorry, Government!
Just think of all those men on D-Day who wasted their lives fighting for freedom…
What happens to you if you refuse – Prison, Fine, Criminal record, outcast???

Other countries run ID cards with success.Everything you have and own is recorded through insurance or licence.You are clocked an average of three hundred times a day on cctv.What rights or privacy do you really have.This will surely make it easy to travel,and hopefully fraud proof.As for track where you go,your mobile does it for you.

I too have nothing to hide, but what concerns me, and should concern others too, is the fact that all personal information is sensitive, and this government has shown, time and time again, that it can not be trusted with sensitive personal information.
So, for that reason alone, I am prepared to take a stand against ID cards along with any other organised protesters.

I had to carry one in Germany and when I visited N. Ireland, so long as it is a replacement of the passport and they don’t charge us for it fine, I will carry one but if we end up paying no way!

NEVER NEVER NEVER.
I will march fight do whatever .
Seriously I feel passionately against them and feel sick to the stomach at the very thought. I’d be prepared to do time and hope my kids would understand my principles. Horrible thought that that is I mean every word.
No feckin chance whatsoever.
That’s a no then

I carried an ID card in the Forces and it never bothered me so I don’t have any problem with them. My passport has just expired and I don’t have a photographic driving licence so a photographic ID would be quite useful to me.
To be honest, if the Government wanted to install cameras in my house, then I wouldn’t object. I live a very ordinary, law-abiding life and I’m sure that after a few days they would be completely bored witless.
As for secrets, I don’t think I have any. Keeping secrets is like lying or at the very least trying to hide the truth. The only thing I have managed to hide over the years is where I hid the kids’ Christmas presents.

The information you comment on is already known about us anyway. The ID card formalises this in some kind of covert operation but try to consider the other side – there always is one. I believe they will serve to filter out those who shouldn’t be here or those who truely are a problem to this country.

as usual we have no say in what we want.we could protest naked on the streets where would they put their stupid cards then? everyone has something to hide or else there wouldn’t be any point having privacy laws would there?the government are all in it for themselves so this will never be for our good no matter what tripe they try to sell us.we are mostly intelligent people who can think for ourselves so it should be up to us if we wish to carry an id card.

you will have to carry id cards by law, except if you are a member of the government then you will be exempt as usual from any laws (allegedly).
