Blunkett unveils ID card plans – I don’t see what the problem is with this thing. Apparantly, some people see carrying an ID card as an infringement of civil liberties. Um… huh? How is that? Driving licences now have photos and so on on them, and even if you want, say, something as simple as a one week season ticket on a train or bus, you generally have to have a photo ID card to get it. I’ve never seen anyone complaining about that, other than moaning about the crapness of their photo ;-) Surely it’d just make a lot of things easier, and help crack down on fraud and stuff. I’m all for it.
