This may appear noble to those who have absolute trust in those who govern you, but I don't. I see it as intrusive and just another step towards the absolute control of the population as in '1984'.
"good for the country" is my thought, it works in other countries so why not here? Anyway it is not mandatory to have them but from my point of view if I can save £60 it isn't a bad thing
