Who agrees with having an identity card? What is the reason for your decision?

My view is that with all these identities going missing it would have to be very simple.
Only name and and id number
Can proove it is my card only by finger print no signature
No details of age, address, bank, job, spouse or children

I have nothing agains an ID card, In these days of terrorism it is needed to make sure we can keep tracks on certain individuals.
If you have nothing to hide then you should have one.

I am trying to find an article that refers to a gentleman called Sergeant Robert William John Waller sadly he is now deceased, it was a despatch for distinguished service recognition, I have tried the archives for the London Gazette but the page does not open does anyone have any ideas where I can get a copy of this article from or does anyone have a copy. I would be extremely grateful as he is a relative of mine and I am trying to trace this article for my Aunt.

Thank You in advance for any helpful answers.

There is a current problem of immigration in the UK. Maybe it is apparent in the US too. Taking a look as to why there is mass immigration points to one thing; War.
The people who are muslims are coming to this country quickly. I hear people saying f uck off back to your own country but they have escaped war. Iraq and Afghanistan quickly come to mind - especially the mid east where they are fearing who is next on America's hit list. Can you blame them for wanting to leave a country in which we (the west - especially the UK and US) have gone in and destroyed? didnt Iraq have a wonder of the world; the hanging gardens of babylons - which has been destroyed and bits stolen by invading troops as portrayed by a BBC documentary? Would you - as innocent people want to raise your family in an environment like that? The result of war IS mass immigration. Everyone wants the best for their kids and themselves - their countries are in ruins by the western govts.

Hi! I was wondering... for anyone that bought a paper yesterday, was there a coupon section included in the paper (like there usually is)? The reason I ask is, my husband brought home a [Santa Rosa] Press Democrat, and then I went out and bought another one AND a San Francisco Chronicle... but there were no coupons anywhere in either of them. Does anyone know if the company that puts out those coupons is going under or something? (Because this isn't the first time it's happened, and I'm mad that I wasted $4 on newspapers!)

If you're interested in this (compelling) case you might like to sift through the pages of this Portuguese website, maintained by a Portuguese journalist and also a TV producer I think Joana Morais.
It is not only aimed at Portuguese but at English readers too. A lot of it is in English.
Give me a dispassionate view please --- no insults.
Thank you.

Having spent last Christmas down in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt enjoying the heat and sun I find myself having to spend this Christmas freezing to death in Blighty.

However, looking at where the celebs are spending their Christmasses:

I was wondering what your ideal Christmas getaway would be: Barbados like Simon Cowell or the Maldives like Paul McCartney?
