You seem to be campaigning for the continuation of exploiting cheap labour in our country ? So let me get it right, no id cards for you because you want to keep people working for a couple of quid a day illegally, fair enough.

Please read my post again.
I said that I "was" against ID cards but my opinion has "now" changed, meaning that I agree that it would help the current situation.
ie: No card and out you go!
I have contact with someone dealing with asylum seekers and illegal immigrants in a London borough, and they are saying that these people working with false NI details are far more widespread than any of us imagine. On the other hand I know two people (one very well) that are making a mint from renting houses out to local authorities for asylum seekers where the local authority is paying twice the going rate for the rent.
I have not seen that claim in the news or the newspapers, but then again I may be wrong. I am not in favour of importing cheap labour into the country I am all for a fair wage for people who are allready resident here.
