Story: Half of UK opposed to ID cards

Not even then

"I might support the I.D. cards if they contain limited information and are only used to know who's in the country and who's not, but then we already have passports for that!"

The plan seems to be to merge ID cards and Passports into virtually identical instruments, but the core issue has never been the ID cards themselves. The problem is the fact that the card is just the part of the iceberg that pokes out of the water.

The massive database underneath is the real problem and the core of that problem is the single unique identifier and the fact that the intention is to "Data Clean" a whole raft of other databases by using the NIR number as a unique reference; and thereafter a index key to allow all of these databases to be aggregated into a single picture.
