I am very concerned that the real outcome of the introduction of biometric ID cards would mean that we are all under suspicion all the time and I do not want that.
I do not agree with the idea that "If you've nothing to hide then you've nothing to worry about".
I fear it will be used as well to exploit us through advertising; used to track down people who have run away from families with good cause; that the information we give will be used for other purposes.
I do not think that it will be free from errors that could leave people's lives an absolute misery. I also don't think for one moment it will keep us safe, just increasingly distrustful of others. Criminals have compromised chip & pin: they are bound to get hold of the technology and use it to forge the ultimate in ID.
I really believe this is a massive con and waste of money, our money by the way, which will not have any results.
