Yes, soon to be compulsory because of Adolf Blair's government... so how do people generally feel about it? Annoyed? Or not bothered?

Its not surprising we no longer live in a free country. This is just a part of a long running agenda soon will come the regions and the abolition of England . ID cards are at odds with British Democracy and freedom that a man is entitled to move freely in Britain and have a private life except if there's suspicion of breaking the law.Its sad how many people miss the point and say if you have nothing to hide it don't matter but a part of our heritage is an Englishman's home is he's castle and his life is his own not the states. We lived in one of the freest countries in the world with common law ,trial by jury with no CCTV and no ID cards except in the time of conflict , it seems we now live in a fascist state soon to become a region of Europa that's very similar to Orwell's and Huxley's nightmares combined how did it come to this?

It's an expensive joke and a waste of time. We will end up with a system that will not stop one terrorist outrage and will simply give anyone in authority reason to stop and question our movements. Remember the 'sus' law? This government cannot make up it's mind why we need ID cards . First it was to make the country safer from terrorist threats then the emphasis was on identity theft. Is there one country anywhere that is demonstrably safer for having ID cards? I think not. Make no mistake ID cards wil change this country, and not for the better. Remember, all despots love power and will do anything to get it and keep it.

Extremely angry at this further erosion, intrusion and invasion of our privacy.
The UK has too many laws, cameras and worst of all far too many self seeking politicians.
We are becoming a police state and the criminals go unpunished and the average public are penalized and actually being harassed.
It is getting so bad I shall not live in the UK any more.
Go to other countries in the EU like Spain and Italy no one gives a damn about the EU laws and life is very laid back.

Not bothered at all...then again I don't live in the UK. I do however have to carry my passport when I visit your fair country so I suppose I already carry a compulsory ID of sorts.

I don't like the idea of having to pay for it. Was it £90 they rumoured? Of course, we need to safeguard against terrorism, but forgers have been around a long time. The police would like everyones DNA at birth. Scary. Even with id man can be irrational and those wishing to harm others will always (sadly) find a way.

If it's compulsory then i don't see why we should have to pay for it. Certainly not £80. And before people start a passport is optional as is a driving licence.
If you've got nothing to hide then I can't see any valid objection apart from having to pay for it.

Nothing that this New Labour Govt. does will surprise me. The fact that the authorities will have your DNA is scary. Lets face it the Police aren't the most trustworthy of organisations I wouldn't put it past them to start fitting people up for crimes they didn't commit. I think it's time Britain made progress and stopped REgressing. Vote Change. Vote Conservative.

I'm not Bothered. I'm in the military and am legally required to carry my Forces ID with me at all times, regardless of whether I'm on duty or not. It doesn't bother me in the slightest. I just have to remember to put it in my wallet when I walk out of my flat in the morning. You quickly fit it in as part of your routine. Whenever I leave the flat, I make sure I have my wallet, ID, Phone and Watch on me.
They may well be watching me thanks to that, but I'm not doing anything illegal.
I don't really see it as an infringement of human rights, but I do think it's wrong for us to pay for them. If they're compulsory, they should be issued, like our National Insurance cards. My military ID was issued. I didn't pay to have one.
