*HONK* Sorry, but wrong (oh, and once again we see the logical fallacy of the "False Dilemma")
There is a *fourth* choice. You and lots of other people contact your MP and express your disagreement with the proposed laws *BEFORE* they are introduced.

And to clarify your last point, being required to carry an ID card suggests that you need to be able to prove who you are, should the need arise; I fail to see how it implies that you need permission to stand on the street?

Because it would *not only* require you to prove who you are, but also, by implication mean that if you could *not* prove who you are when required, you do *not* have the right to stand on the street, since you could then be arrested for failing to identify yourself!!
PS if you find my "lengthy posts" so tiresome, why don't you edit out the parts that you aren't replying to?
PPS Oh and for all those who think that the government's plans are a great idea and are going to be a roaring success that will be brought in without any problems, here's a cautionary little story for you...
