In The UK We Do Not Have ID Cards,

but as I have mentioned before the government is intent on introducing them, again I have to ask why? the cost has already spiraled to £5billion, it has just emerged that the Home Office spent an astonishing £140million on consultants last year, up 44 per cent on the previous year, they were paid large sums for planning a vast Big Brother database to store the details of every Internet click and telephone call made by UK residents, known as the Intercept Modernisation Programme (IMP) but wait for it, both policies have since been downgraded, Shadow Home Secretary Chris Grayling said: ‘We’re now finding out more and more about the true cost of the Government’s abortive ID card project', but the worst part of this fiasco is that when it is all finished having a card is not even compulsory! in fact if you want one you have to pay for it, only £30 each, start forming the queue in a ID card office near you!
