OK, the old ID cards thing again... Possibly time to re-iterate my views..

While what I do is legal, and mostly of no interest to anyone apart from me, my family and friends, I am uncomfortable with ID cards. For a couple of reasons:

1) I like the freedom to wander off somewhere and have no one be able to find out who I am without my permission.
2) This government hasn't been entirely successful at keeping the data they have secure. Bearing that in mind, I don't think it a good idea to give them more.
