Aaron- The government has just *rejected* identification cards and overturned an entire Act about them that Labour passed because this is NOT a police state or a Communist state and most people don't want to carry around ID wherever they go and show it to whoever asks for it!
"Okay, you don't have to start proving who you are like we're on the wrong side of the Berlin Wall in the 80s, but don't expect to get alcohol or cigarettes or go clubbing until you're middle aged."- Not an acceptable argument!
The Freedoms Bill will be even more anti-ID, anti-surveillance. And they are not attacking the uniform, they are simply upset about being treated like a child.
