Passports, Driving licences, old fashioned paper/photo cards are dumb (up to a point Lord Copper).<br /><br />The envisaged ID "card" of Bliar infamy would have been intelligent - like a revved-up bank card. Lots of details would have been available at the state officials' fingertips (or card reader!). And no doubt the amount of detail would have inexorably risen over the years. I am opposed to an intelligent ID but okay with simple photo/address ID.<br /><br />Of course a lot of the problems are the result of excessive immigration, and the clash of cultures, rather than ID. As often is the case we have a number of possible solutions available but we (or our government) are too vain and politically-correct to implement them.<br /><br />For almost two decades we have suffered massive immigration, often officially around half a million a year (the figures of c250k/300k are net, so don't indicate the extent of the influx). NINos indicate it is a lot more. Out of the EU we <i>can</i> control the numbers, but we will have to force the establishment to do so. We could also put a 25 year time limit on any immigrant's right to welfare and vote.Budgienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-66893643944807421232018-03-09T21:00:32.597+00:002018-03-09T21:00:32.597+00:00@anon (17:23)

If you wish to enable corbyns marxist ranks at the expense of a slight intrusion of your "privacy" (which has already and continuously been massively breached by govt, so you are hardly revealing anything) that is your right.

Don't vote, deligitimise the scum at all levels of government!<br /><br />As the old lady from Darwen said a long time ago "It doesn't matter who I vote for, the government always gets in!" Oh how we 20 year olds (at the time) laughed at her ignorance. In the more than 40 years since, I think many of us have come to realise how wise she was, and that it makes not one jot of difference what the voters vote, or even what the gobby politicos spout, the permanent government (= civil service) just gets on with its own agenda regardless. The ONLY exception over the past 60 odd years has been the recent vote to leave the EU. It wasn't supposed to happen like that which is why all the underhand shenanigans are going on now.<br /><br />As for me, regardless of the vote, I get Bercow.

Of course implementation of any such identification would be handled by Amber Rudd at the Home Office so a debacle would surely be guaranteed.<br /><br />In Canaduh we are required to produce proof of residency before voting in federal and provincial elections, it is a minor inconvenience whilst trying to avoid illegal voters, however let me assure you it does not prevent the election of ill-qualified dumb-asses.<br /><br /> Cascadiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-75025154701474772522018-03-08T20:46:14.129+00:002018-03-08T20:46:14.129+00:00I used to be very much against ID cards and still ...<br />I used to be very much against ID cards and still would be if the intention was to make them a 'compulsory-carry' but as many people mention, ID is carried (or owned) in many acceptable forms ALREADY.<br /><br />It is naive to think we aren't ALREADY in a 'ID state' situation so the introduction of a genuine state-issued ID card **for those that don't possess already-suitable ID such as passport, driving license etc** shouldn't offend or disabuse anyone.<br /><br />The basic premise should be NO ID, NO VOTE (said ID being as per previous paragraph).<br /><br />So, if you object to a State ID card you can get a (state) driving license or a (state) passport or a (state) utility bill...... what's 'your' issue???Dave_Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-37196152961772008362018-03-08T19:48:46.141+00:002018-03-08T19:48:46.141+00:00I consider myself a freeborn Briton and a loyal su...I consider myself a freeborn Briton and a loyal subject of HMQ.

In NI you can take a utility bill plus a passport photo to an MP or Assembly member to be signed - this gets you a free voting ID card <br /><br />I agree with comments here about national ID cards.
