Nurcan told us about the ID card scheme that the British government launched in November.
There has always been strong opposition to the idea of making identity cards compulsory in Britain.Yet with the struggle against immigration under way, the idea has wound its way into existence. And opinions are really divided on the issue.
Down below are some of the opinions that can be read on the times online website, where Nurcan found the article.
It should be stressed that according to the Guardian "Britain's first ID cards, with fingerprint and facial details, cannot be read by any official body because the government has not issued a single scanner." That's what you call good management, isn't it?
All residents & nationals in Spain carry ID cards with fingerprint. Its mandatory. I like mine. Nobody can use my credit card without a cashier seeing my ID card. We use them for many things, govt official stuff, bank accounts, and proving I am legally in Spain when asked by a police officer.

Didn't we British used to value privacy and the right to disclose our personal details at our own discretion?
Cate, Leeds,
Those in favour of ID cards, why do you ignore this government's appalling track record on data security? These cards won't be secure because the government can't keep our personal details secure.
Anyway, the government are plainly building a police state, and that's just unacceptable.
