Leafing through this proposal, it seems that if you renew your British passport post-2011 you'll have trot along to one of their enrollment centres for the biometric wossnames. I think I'll be renewing my passport a bit before that, or just getting the Irish one. Not sure how they're going to force ID card enrollment on those people who don't need a UK passport but aren't foreigners, baggage handlers etc. I suspect a staged series of attempts to make life impossible without one, unless you're rich or a criminal*.

* Neither of whom need to get a job or a bank account, one suspects.
