What have you got to hide?
What really is everyones problem with carrying an id card?
Please dont spout some bollocks about human rights and infringing your personal space, the fact of the matter is that some people just want to be heard, which is fine, if they have anything constructive or decent to say.
It appears to me that the majority of the comments posted on this forum make no sense and are hate fulled rantings of a disconcerted few, sort yourselves out and get a valid opinion!
The id card idea has been banded around for many years and not a brand new brainwave from the government, so all the villified nonsense aimed at the current incumbents is hot air aimed in the wrong direction.
The criminal fraternity (a minority of the country) and the terrorist organisation will hate the fact that carrying an id card may 'identify' them, but it may reduce crime and terrorist activity, think about it, if a member of your family is injured (or worse) by a criminal or a terrorist, willyou be the first ot bleat about the unfairness of it all............of course you will because that is the way some of you are structured, shallow and almost transparent. You are the sort of people that hate 'authority' in any way shape or form, but soon call on the appropriate service when disaster hits your life (disaster being an exageration as many feel the world evolves around then and demand instant help when they start bleating).
Carrying a small card with your name on it and a few details may save someones life, it may stop horrendous things happening, it may encourage people to behave in public and then others willnot be afraid to go out, it may stop idiots carrying knives and killing innocent people on the way to visit their newborn child..........it may not , but what harm would it do,what have you all got to hide?
Think about it
