they can see it is you margaret, but they will not necessarily accept it, as i discovered when i tried to open a bank account in the year 2000, its probably even more stupid 9 years on.

It was a serious comment. She could be a murderer they have been after for years. So could you or I. I have nothing to hide so am not scared about having one.

if that is the case then I don't see any reason for having an ID card..I suppose some may want to have one just as a back up.

How do you know one of them isn't Bagpuss?

I don't wear a veil, and I have given my opinions of this subject in another thread for those who wish to look that up.

And Neil as for the possibility of me being a murderer/criminal.....isn't the concept 'Innocent until proven Guilty'.........because I have nothing to hide does not mean that I want anymore of my personal details in the public domain for God knows whose scrutiny.

I am entitled to reside in this country......the ones who aren't entitled to will not be carrying ID cards.......I cannot see an effective way of scrutinising the ID cards to eliminate those who do not belong here........and in any case, this government won't deport those who should be deported because of their criminal activity...so tell me what, exactly is the point?

And as far as being locked up, well, maybe sometimes that doesn't seem such a bad prospect......I will be warm, fed, be given opportunites to study and have healthy leisure activities, all paid for by the tax payer......personally though I would rather be transported.

Biometric details stored.....details which could be used for something which I do not sanction.

Exactly Margaret, what we should be doing is making it a requirement of law that foreign nationals coming to live work or study in this country should have I. D. cards, if when asked they can't produce one, then the next plane home

That doesn't make sense.

If when challenged to produce an identity card, they could just say they don't have one because they live here.

Which because you think we all shouldn't have one, would make that a perfectly reasonable excuse, and off they go, free to do God knows what.

that is exactly were things should be at! but no party has the balls to implement this into law, only a mug would think otherwise.I.M.H.O.

Well they make a better fist of it than this showers open door policy thats for sure

SPUGGIE J · 11-05-2009, 10:45

Well in this day and age with all the technology around it will not be secure as there will always be a criminal element with the knowhow to use/abuse the info. It may be volentery but how many would take it up? As to those with something to hide then they will find ways to avoid it as long as possible. The open door policy will make it as about as enforcable as as using a rice paper wall to stop a runaway train. These people would vanish before they could be issued one. Good idea bad way to get it up and running.
