ID cards plan to go ahead

MPs are saying that it's easier to have an ID Card.
Granted that in other european countries, ID cards have become in integral part of society.
I am still of two minds. I have nothing to hide, I am far too honest for my own good.
It's going to be the cost of all this that worries me, billions of punds are going to be spent, which I think could be spent elsewhere for the good of the country
