......and for those who want to insist that some sort of ID card must equal a police state what about those democratic states that have them now, and what about those democracies that make them compulsory now?
Are Italy and Germany now 'dictatorships'?

Those who are trying to impose this upon us are busy classifying everything about themselves whilst subjecting the rest of us to ever more probing and invasion of privacy. The reasons they have so far given to justify the National ID scheme just don't hold up in reality.
Who ever gave these idiots in power the authority to impose this stuff on the population? They are, after all, public servants and answerable to the people, or have I somehow misunderstood the role of government?

That's what is wrong with politics. I have a deep mistrust of anyone who would make a career out of imposing their will on others!
Sure would be nice to have oversight and scrutiny of government spending and every aspect of their lives, as they propose to have over ours
