Id cards will not work - we live in a free country

I am surprised banks ever thought ID cards would work. In a few years time the government would make it compulsory to carry ID Cards. Therefore, I will not carry one. I was born in a free country (thanks to a previous generation). This governent is using the excuse of terrorism to introduce restricive laws (2003 Licencing Act which makes protest harder; DNA database; more CCTVs per head than any other country etc etc.).
