If you don't have it, you have to show it in person at a police station within 7 days. That's quite enough for me thanks. Governments should be there to support the public good and work for us, not monitor us. We already have cameras watching in cities everywhere. So "no thanks" to any more of that sort of thing.
I found it simplified things greatly there. But I accept most people don't want them, and it would be political suicide for any government to propose ID cards anyway. |

Armbands. Require identifying armbands. So much quicker than getting a card out and it would allow members of the public to join in the fun. Besides, we know it works because it has been used before...

The UK already issues Residence Cards to EU and non-EU nationals. All it takes is political will, which we don't have. At the moment mine negates the requirement for a passport in Europe, Costs me nothing ;) Very useful in many situations ( Hotel registration etc. ) Very easy to carry. |

I don't see a problem with ID cards in the UK, we carry so much ID anyway with passports, visa, driving licence, bus pass etc.
Just back in UK and so much trouble to renew bus pass (for some reason first got it in work name and UK address is in married name). Had to take marriage certificate to prove the name change--decades ago and identity.! Also new photo. I think I can prove my identity if asked now.:lol: |
re: Post EU Referendum
The Remain forecast was that there'd be a mass exodus of big business from the moment a Brexit victory was announced.
This simply did not happen. Furthermore over the past few months there's been a constantly increasing number of businesses expressing their confidence in continuing to operate in the UK as well as those committing themselves to further future investment. Please excuse me if I have far more confidence in the opinions of experienced companies willing to put their money where their mouth is, than listening to the never ending doom and gloom forecasts of sore, sour grape losers with no firm evidence to back up their opinions. :cool: |

If you don't like the forecasts of the 'sour-grapes losers', don't read the kind of media and forums they appear on. Stick to the media you know and love, the ones where the headline bears no or little relation to it's content. The same kind you usually post on here. |

I believe many predicted that without being inside the single market, there would be no point for many big multinational businesses which are located in the UK specifically to access the single market, to remain in the UK. And as it turns out (and has been widely reported through credible media), those businesses have already started their contingency planning, and will be ready to do so *if and when* the UK leaves the single market. There's nothing "project fear" about it. It's actually just "project reality". |

Anyway, this is a funny characterisation - an icon of the times, perhaps?

Not to mention the endless stream of phoney propaganda that was being churned out of Downing St., much of it already clearly debunked. No wonder you were all happy to leave that thread behind and sweep it under the carpet. :cool: |
