Like it or not, looks like we're going to get them. What does everyone think?

Well, I've got a passport and a credit card so another one wont matter. Thing is though... just how do they help?

As long as they are not expensive I don't mind. But, like Bounty, I am still unclear as to how useful they will be.

Same here, I don't mind carrying one just as long as they don't cost too much

I don't think people who do nothing wrong have anything to worry about.

Theres nothing on my card which I have to hide. I think they should have the card as a passport and a drivers license as well. Saves the number of things which we need to carry!

£100???!!! Fek!

I don't see why we should have to pay that much for something compulsory - and if they're not going to be compulsory (which some people have suggested) no one the police want to trace/verify will get one!

And if we do have to pay at least make it a little bit more affordable!

I don't think people who do nothing wrong have anything to worry about.

the government have used images of terrorism and carnage to promote a danger in this country, and they're now proclaiming that ID cards are the way forward for security etc. this is bollocks. there is zero evidence to suggest cards will make any difference whatsoever. it's just another way for the goverment to control us... to have the authority to make us prove who we are anytime they want. it may not directly affect you or me - but it's a moral standpoint i object to. it's just yet another way to slowly turn this world into a very controlled enviroment to live in.

it's all very 1984. who's to say in 50 years time we wont all be subjected to random, on-the-spot DNA testing to prove who we are? would that be acceptable?

(yes, i know i sound like a ranting paranoid psychotic)
