Again I ask, how come other countries with ID card systems with more personal information than the government's plan calls for, don't have this issue?
Also exactly what new information will the database hold that will enable all these abuses which isn't already held by the government?
Another thing, you do not need to carry the ID card to be able to walk down the street, just as you don't need to carry a driving license to drive down the road.
To think otherwise I'm afraid is simply an attempt at scaremongering or paranoia!
With this thread nearly everyone has agreed that the government's proposal and ability to impliment the scheme are a pile of poo.
So there's no point carrying on arguing about it.
Then you are left with those of us who can see the benifits of a well planned and implimented scheme and those who are anti any ID scheme.
So far from the latter I have only heard reasonable arguments against the Labour plan but no strong arguments against properly run schemes.
