ID Cards - what's going on:

UK ID Timetable

The Identity Cards Bill has now become law. From around 2009 when you renew or apply for a passport you will have no choice about also being registered on the National Identity Register. Eventually everyone will have to register for an ID card

you will be fingerprinted & iris-scanned
you'll have to pay about Ł93 (or more!) for a combined passport/ID card (or possibly around Ł40 for the basic card)
ID cards will be compulsory by about 2019, but even before that your details can be registered on the National Identity Register without your knowledge, and if ID cards are required to access essential public services, we won't have much choice!

Why should I be afraid of a piece of plastic?

Becuse your Identity Card will link to the National Identity Register carrying a great deal of information about you!The 'Identity Cards' Bill isn't about ID cards - it aims to establish a huge central computer database that will store information about every British citizen.

Hundreds of thousands of people will refuse to register for ID cards!

Because ...

Our private information won't be safe on the Identity Register
We won't pay this plastic poll tax
Fraudsters & terrorists won't be inconvenienced by ID cards - ordinary people will
We won't be bullied & pushed around by this or any government
