I was never asked to produce mine in Malta, except to open a bank account. But the ID number was asked for on a number of forms, including some job applications.

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.

Why not put a star on the armbands???? then everyone would know who to avoid, arrest, murder. That was, of course, tried in Germany a few years ago//

I am in favour of ID cards.

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.

re: Post EU Referendum
 

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:

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:

Corporate PR likes to good out out news investors want to hear because this keeps the share price up. At the same time, the company financial people are always looking at other options to minimise their risk.

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.

Nobody ever said that.

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?

Clearly two different buses.

The top one being the Brexit bus.

The bottom being the remnants of the EU project.

Well done Ami, thanks for that. :rofl:

re: Post EU Referendum
 

I suggest you check back on all the nonsensical predictions, yourself and other Remoaners made on the Leave EU thread,

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:

You could try the forum's search function....

Or even Google the posts within the thread if you understand search engines.
