ID cards are bad. Very bad.

1. Once they exist it will become necessary to always carry it. If you don't you must have something to hide, etc.
2. They can't stop people working in the 'black economy' because people currently employing those working for cash don't care.
3. It is another attack on trans and NB people (very unlikely someone would be allowed to have multiple IDs)
4. Massive data loss of personal information is highly likely.
5. Who pays? Why should they?
6. Police state becomes more likely with having your ID inspected whenever a copper wants to harass someone, especially POC.
7. OTHER OPTIONS ALREADY EXIST!

ID cards are a very bad, very dangerous, very expensive, and very risky idea.

ps I'm not a 'Brit'. I'm British, or more specifically English!

Response from an Anon:

"The problem in the UK is that it won't just be an ID card system, it will be commercialised and abused, the system for registering for a card, paying for it, the validation system, etc will be an endless clusterfuck of the worst incompetence you've ever seen because the stupid fuckwits we have in government and the techbrowannabes we have shitting all over literally everything including water, waste, transport, etc are fucking c***s"

I completely agree. This is a licence to print money for some lucky company (ooh, backhanders to government officials and ministers? Don't mind if I do)
