The card is just the tip of the iceberg.

It's probably good to know that this only applys to the UK.

Answer 1

Yes i have signed

Answer 2

During the war everyone (including babies and children) had to have an ID card. Of course it did not carry a photograph or any of the other information that the 21st century card will carry, and it was free.
I am curious as to how the government are going to collect the payment for them. Will it be a case of ` You can`t have one until you have paid for it ` ( "Right ho," everyone will say, "then keep it !") Are they going to take non-payers to court and incur even more charges? If they try to have it deducted directly from peoples` wages, first of all the employers will object to the extra work it will entail them. Secondly, the Trade Unions would not allow it, and we would have mass strikes. As for the Old Age Pensioners, organisation , one of their members is Antony Booth, the Prime Ministers`father-in-law, and he is very active for the organisation, so I cannot see a lot of O,A.P.s rushing to sign up for one. I did hear that the very old people will not have to have a card, but it isn`t them he has to worry about, it is the 60-70 years olds that will cause him trouble. Remember these people are some of the best and most experienced protesters in the world, they are the old `Hippies`, so Prime Minister beware!!!

Answer 3

No. The ID card scheme is not the first sign of a police state; I'm more concerned at proposals to lock people up for 90 days without being charged or appearing in court.

I object to ID cards being compulsory, and, as the US has proved, they don't work. They will also do very little to root out illegal immigrants (which some idiot on here thought it would). It will not take long for someone to develop the technology to forge the cards, but I don't believe in your motives for objecting to them.

Answer 4

the jury is out for me on the subjects of id cards. I can see both sides of the argument.

My reluctance in supporting the issue of ids at the moment stems from my concerns over the current socialist state we are living in.

We can't trust a Government which believes in the notion that the State should control the people, so at the moment I am moved to signing your petition.

Answer 5

I have no problems with carrying an ID card. The problem I have is being forced to pay for something the government say is compulsory. I choose whether I have a passport and if I do I pay for it. But with ID card there will be no choice. I can't understand how the government can compel you to pay for it

Answer 6

An identity card would be a good thing to have in the UK. Anybody who thinks it is bad should be investigated to see what they are hiding. Afterwards they should be sent to Siberia or Milton Keynes.

Answer 7

Well, fine then. I would probably signed your thingy, but since its just in the UK why bother?

Answer 8

No from me no from him and no from her and the pets dont want to sign either. We need to get a grip of who is here and perhaps this is out last hope!

Answer 9

And you think that talking about a pocksey pledge is going to stop them. If we, the people actually grew a fu*king spine and rivaled the goverment. If blood is spilled then the goverment might ask the people next time.

Answer 10

I wouldn't even think of signing your pledge.

I'm all for ID cards.
