As things stand at the moment, I could go and live on a croft in the north of Scotland, work the land just enough to feed myself, never have a bank account, nor a loan, neither pay NI nor claim a pension, never drive a car on a public road, never travel abroad...

And if I did live that way, I would never need to prove my identity to anyone. The police could come and ask who I am for whatever reason, but I would not be breaking a law simply by having no proof of my ID.

If a compulsory ID card scheme were introduced, the basic human right that I now have to be completely anonymous if I so choose will be gone.
