# there's nothing wrong with ID cards
most of europe has them and they don't seem to be in any way oppressive. however, because the media stirred up some shit about it being a way of big brother looking at your cock when you're asleep, they didn't happen.

# I wouldn't mind one and I don't see why people are against them.
I have no photo ID other than my passport. How am I supposed to prove that I'm not Johnny Foreigner with a bomb in my backpack?

# use your passport
unless you want to pay another £30 for something that will let you travel to fewer places than your passport

# It's not carrying a card that's the problem,
it's the fucking database that goes with it.

# possibly
would most of the details not be on some other database somewhere anyway? like the passport office or driving licence thingymajig?

# not really
they don't (generally) have your fingerprints or a complete history of your past addresses, for example - which you;re required to give for an ID card

# i see
well, I don't understand why they think that would be a good plan. I don't believe the eu id cards have such nonsense on them.

I'm for ID cards, but don't see the need for that other info, other than being nosey and cheeky.

# aye
I'm not too bothered about the cards

just don't see the need for all this extra info which is just going to get lost, hacked or sold

and if someone in the future manages to falsify my fingerprints then I'm fucked, cos I can't get new fingerprints

I think I want to go and live on Mars

# yer, I think they do oppose it
to the extent there was only one Lib Dem MP in the chamber last night

everyone (pretty much) bar Labour opposed the ID Cards Bill - but the debate on it was pathetic; tiny amount in the chamber 'debating' it but when the vote was called the lobbies filled up with MPs who'd just been in the bar waiting to vote
