Story: Home Office: Majority of UK supports ID cards
UK ID cards are NOT supported by public
This is propaganda for sure, no one I know supports the UK version or US version of the ID cards.
The problem is though that the government are clever, they are bringing in the cards slowly, by introducing the cards with limited conditions, and will add to the conditions once they have convinced everyone to have one.
The version they are advertising right now is just the beginning of what data will be put on the cards later on.
Everyone must reject the cards now, so that our civil liberties won't be violated later on.
If you accept primary condition of these cards, you are subscribing to any other conditions the government may impose later on.
Once you accept the cards in 2008, you won't be able to say in years to come when the government decide to say add more data about you to the cards that you don't want them.
Trust me, the long term plans for these cards is to store EVERYTHING about your life on them, although they would never admit this in 2008, as they want to break the news to you gently over a prolonged period to get everyone acclimatized to the idea.
The government want ID cards in everyones wallets before they break the worst of the news to you.
