1 I have never claimed benefits, so It will not affect me.
2 It is no compuslary to buy the ID Card, so again will not affect my work, or travelling around the UK.
3 If the Governement want me to have the ID Card they can pay for it. I can not afford £30.
4 Nor can I afford toreplace the card if anything went wrong with it.
I think you will find a large percentage of the Popultaiton in the UK, will not be able to afford this ID Card either. As other have said, it is a wasteless peice of item. I will not prevent terroism nor willit prevent crime, it will not prevent fraud either.

Its astonishing they're still pushing ahead with this white elephant. At least it'll be ditched when were allowed to vote Labour out.

1 Private pension, once I leave my job, I do notneed no ID for that.
2 Private health care, why would I want public health cre when I have already paid for p.h.c.
3.Other than that, would you tell all those poor families in the UK to go out and obtaina loan if they cannot afford the card, kinds a ridiculous comment to say the least.

The only good thing about a tory government IMHO, but what if the tory's decide when in power to go along with it. that would make me worry

And here's me thinking that the papers last month reported that the ID card idea was dead and buried.
They love their little gadgets to keep you in line don't they?
YOU WILL HAVE ONE < or if not you'll end up in Diego Garcia OK?>
British citizens will never be forced to carry ID cards, the Government announced today. Read more: www.dailymail.co.uk...

Why is everyone so paranoid, can you not see ID cards, CCTV, Internet Monitoring or whatever "is a good thing" If you have nothing to hide "You have nothing to worry about" You all act as if the Government is going to come along and throw you into a room with rubber walls, I think they got much bigger fish to catch that a few paranoid conspiracy theorist. Or is it you don't trust them with your personal data, yet you probably all have facebook, myspace & twitter accounts and with a simple username/name search anyone who wishes has all the data they need "even a picture of you" You also probably just throw your junk mail in the bin or even better use WEP encryption on your wireless networks.
I am all up for ID cards, there are too may people in this country who shouldn't be. This is one way of cutting down on the illegal immigrants in the UK, if you have a better Idea I'm sure they will take note. This is just my opinion, and no I don't like Labour or another party going for the General Elections.
So what if an ID card cost me £30, I see it a step closer to protecting my own Identity from Identity Theft. That would cost me a whole lot more.
