[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 117100, member: 176256"] As a woolly liberal (no capital L) I find myself extremely uneasy with the idea of ID cards. It's all very well saying that if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear but it's the [U][I]potential [/I] [/U] for the card to be misused that terrifies me. It's not revolution or uprising in this country we have to fear but the slow, steady erosion of our liberties and freedom. This government might not misuse the card but no-one can stop a future one from changing its mind. This country had identity cards during the last war. They were soon disposed of once peace was established. Why? Because they smacked too much of what we had fought for 7 years to defeat. No, sorry. It's a step too far. PaulR [/QUOTE]
