ID cards to be rolled out in Manchester...

Apparently, interested citizens can register on the direct.gov website for a card which will be capped at £30 for the first two years.

Wouldn't it be splendid of no one bothered...

Other points of interest from the arsehole who is Jacqui Smith:

It will be hard in the end for a normal person to function without a card-you take your finger prints etc and combine them with your person...you say this is me! and they say thank you.. we now own you

[BanditsHigh]

But I thought having an ID card would mean terrorists wouldn't be able to attack me ... after all they say it will protect me ... have I missed something

As MM states, it will get to the stage where you can't work, you can't breathe, you can't fart etc. without having an ID card ... they will force it on us whether we want it or not ... after all, isn't that what the government always does.

I've held out on getting my driving licence updated to get rid of spent convictions and to change the address ... why, because I'll now get charged £10 every ten years to update the photocard ... wonder how much that'll be upped to by the time ten years have passed!!

Air side staff are already being effectively blackmailed into having them.

Air plane drivers (I think they're also called pilots) are railing against it saying its hugely unfair: I support them fully.

So, its already happening.

I was thinking the same thing here sat at my desk, I work for the NHS, what if they decide (in a government fuelled fake show of support for the government ) all civil service type people must get them.

It is going to be funny getting a 7 day producer on your person,if you are stopped without the card they will have the legal right to give you one:lol:.

I'm not sure where I stand on them as I can see the pro's and con's on both sides. I can see new employers wanting you to have a card so it covers their backs as they are starting to get done for illegals being employed. I can see uni's wanting them and any official interaction such as banks, driving tests, hospitals etc, and for very good reasons, BUT there are so many reasons not to too.

The cards are not replacing anything, such as passports, driving licenses, proof of age etc, but are an added hassle.

I can't see them enhancing anything.

I won't be getting one.

As a guy said on North West Tonight 'Why would I pay the government £30 to lose my personal information when I can do it myself for free'

[kawakid]

They can go and feck them selves.

I've seen this mentality before in France when at Uni, and you can't do anything without one, you could even be arrested for not carrying your official id.

And now these control freaks want my biometric info as well, no fecking way.

I'm not political, but I will be voting Tory, they have said they will scrap the scheme, that and I now hate the lying thieving, non elected labour scum bags, I voted for last time.

ID card.

Voluntary.

£60.

How monumentally stupid is the person who thinks "Bargain! Best get mine quick!"

The companies leading this are beating the credit crunch.

At the moment if your passport gets lost/stolen you have it cancelled and replaced. In the future when your DNA information is held in a series of "0"s & "1"s, protected by code written by the lowest preferred bidder, what happens when your ID card is compromised. How do you get back something that can be copied infinitely?

[Mushroom]

The situation A-Z is depressing as fuck-the useful fucking IDIOTS left right and center the useless fucking IDIOTS left right and center...the lies that are told and accepted about so many fucking things...

[GhostRider]

They can go fuck themselves, I won't let them tag me with one for shit, and I think I'd spend time in a cell for my troubles as well, though depends on how they try to blackmail me at the time.
