I am completely against the introduction of national ID cards. If they are introduced - it would be another factor pushing me to leave this once great (and now failing) country.

It will be a huge waste of cash, mine and yours, it all comes from our tax. Lets get clean wards in our NHS and fix our schools before we waste money on rubbish.

As a computer professional with a belief in individual liberty, I see the ID card as the express train coming at me down the tunnel. On the one hand, I think it is going to be the biggest computer cockup ever - which is saying something given the quality of cockups we have already had. And on the other hand, it will be a magnificent tool for over zealous or malicious government bodies to push people around. AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

I think they're a waste of money. I'm all for introducing necessary and proportional security measures to reduce any terrorist threats - but seeing as the London bombers were British citizens and it's unlikely that any ID card is going to bear the legend "Occupation: Terrorist." I think it's a slightly riciculous idea. My passport does the same job of proving my ID - most adults have either a passport or a driving license or both- and at least I had the option of whether or not I wanted to pay for that. I also think they could create a false sense of security - if someone's got the card - you assume they're safe - but how long before someone figures out how to fake the things anyway?
