I value the freedom in the UK of not having to prove your identity and not having to carry proof of identity around. It is a real sign of our liberal society.

I agree that in countries that do have ID cards there is a general view that the UK is a safer place. So we don't need them.

I am more afraid of an all powerful government than a few (and yes it is a few) fanatics that are trying to change our lifestyle. We can beat them without a draconian state apparatus.
