why???????

they will do nothing to avoid terrorist attacks, contain all data in a single place ( commonly known as a single point of failure in business) add no value whatsoever over teh methods already available to us ( driving licenses, passports, bills etc)

so you want to waste BILLIONS of pounds and risk the failure of the one system giving all your data in one foul swoop for no value whatsoever. No thanks, I'd rather stay as I am.
