ID Cards - what is your opinion, would you resist paying for one?

I'm not paying for one, I know who I am

ID Cards - what is your opinion, would you resist paying for one?
Most definitely!. What, after losing 15million benefit forms with bank details, passwords, addresses, next of kin and all that that!?. They expect me to splash out£ 720 for my family to tell us who we are ?. We all bl@@dy well know without paying for it. And, will that be on top of the 53 questions you have to answer when travelling by train. Close the borders and spend the money on internal defences. Or give our police, armed forces and nurses a big pay rise!.


Phew!.

If the government want me to have one, then they should pay for it.
Reply:I will refuse to carry one. It is not needed i have a Passport.
Reply:surely if you have a full uk driving licence you wouldnt need it ?
Reply:We already have many different ID cards.It is more logical to have only one card,this could have eye print,finger print, DNA and other information ,such as driving licence ,medical notes etc.No problem with todays technollogy,the crunch comes when payment arises,WHO PAYS? a good subject for debate.
Reply:Considering that they estimate the final cost for one to be around £180, it's not stealth tax but downright THEFT !!


To a family of four like mine it would involve a cost of over £720 and the expense of renewals thereafter !


It is not the cost that bothers me but the INFORMATION they will contain. I mean, when you go on holidays and present your passport to customs in another country, would you like them to know that you defaulted on two mortgage payments for example! Would you like to be treated differently from the person in the Q before you because they have never defaulted in their m'tge payments ? That is precisely what it will mean. It is not the ID card that bothers me. I have lived in countries that require one. It is THIS type of ID card and the info that will contain !!
Reply:yes definetly, the govt already has more than enough information on all of us, social security alone has my passport details, bank details,travel details when I visited the us, why should I give these details to social security, I was blackmailed into it, I was told if I did not give all the information they required, my claim for benefit would be delayed, this is blackmail, now they are blackmailing all of us into agreeing to id cards or we will all go to prison, how many new prisons are they going to build to cater for the thousands if not millions of disenters,to those who say disenters must have something to fear, I would say they are missing the point entirely, they have no concept of what 'freedom' means
Reply:I don't see why I need an ID Card and a ten year passport. As I've already paid for the passport I would be happy to swap them over without paying. If the crunch comes to the crunch and it's a reasonable price then yes, I'll pay for it but I'm not paying for both.





edit: Did you know that as and when they bring out ID cards. If you don't have one you can't leave the UK? No more holidays for people who won't give their details for one.
Reply:I have no problem with them.I wouldnt resist paying for one.
Reply:There's nothing wrong with an ID card per se, just that this scheme is OTT over engineerd and over intrustive
Reply:Why don't they just make illegals get them?? I have a driver's license!
Reply:If they aren`t to pricy, I would pay for 1, I have nothing to hide, only people who have has the problem with them
Reply:What and get fined and go to prison?





Are you crazy!?





LOL, you will have NO CHOICE . It's going to be the LAW. Already passed.
Reply:I agree with the others. No problem with having to have one. It's only those who are either here illegally or have something to hid who object to carrying them. I don't see why we should pay for one though. It's just another way of making extra revenue to go to waste (probably bailing out another ailing financial institution!) Ok pay for a replacement if you lose it and if you can't produce it when asked then expect a fine, but don;t expect us to cough up voluntarily in the first place.
Reply:Yes - how would I pay by cheque without ID?
Reply:I wouldn't pay for one. If the gov't insists we all need one so they can keep track of us they should bloody well pay for it.
Reply:I am at that certain stage in my life that if I do not know who I am by now I never will and with all the Big Brother thing going on, they know who I am anyway. So my answer is NO
Reply:Yes. We should join the rest of the world and have ID cards!
Reply:Yes i would i have already paid for a Driving License to prove who I'am. If they want me to have one they can pay for the stupid thing.
Reply:I will wait until they come out and clone one or wait until the government loose some information and buy some in a pub.








not really....but I bet theres people whos already working towards doing the above!
Reply:I dont think they will give us much choice - we will have to pay for one!
Reply:I always use my photo driving licence, it has my name . address and pic on it. That is good enough in my opinion.
Reply:i think we should have them but they should cost no more than a 10yr passport. those who object have something to hide.
Reply:yep, I aint paying for one, government get enough of my cash and waste it as it is.
Reply:Yes absolutely,,,,,,
