Given the fact that this ID card system has been revealed as simply another way to directly target people for advertising, and that (obviously) some government ministers are as corrupt as the conservatives used to be (taking cash to sell ID card info to advertisers), I for one will NEVER get an ID card..It's not only an unfair tax on everyone on everything from getting married to moving home, but is a completely useless and unneccessary invasion of privacy.

I would rather go to prison than get an ID card...Remember the Poll Tax Riots?...Tony better get ready for protests MUCH MUCH worse before this ID card fiasco is eventually scrapped....
