I will apologise now Margaret because I snore.

As usually this government is scare mongering. With some 60 million in this land does anyone know how many have had their identity stolen? I’ll bet that it is less than 0.1%.

dont we have to pay for these ID cards??
if so then they can sod off!! why should i have to pay to prove who i am? if they want me to have one they can bloody well pay for it!

Yes Panther...we will be expected to pay for these cards unless we are on certain benefits......if we move and do not tell the authorities then it is mooted that we will be fined £1000......nice little earner eh!

I do not want one even if they are free. There are enough details about me being held by government departments. Surely that should be enough.
And as I say, when the crims get round to duplicating these cards......which they will.... be sure of it......and you get your identity stolen, how do you prove that you are who you say you are? It is damn scary.

Isn't it their plan that when you renew your passport you have to automatically get one, and pay for it?

Few points on this one Chav

Next elections are local and have absolutely no impact on the Government whatsover. Local issues are things like - should the market hall be sold off, should we get resident parking anywhere, how do we bring investment into Hyndburn etc? I disagree with a lot of the national policies but as far as I'm concerned I'm fighting a local Council election and national policies shouldn't come into it one jot.

He's not my boss - I'm not a fan of his either and there is no way that I would have voted for him as the leader of the party.

I don't really see the point of identity cards myself. I reckon that I have at least 10 cards (credit cards, drivers licence, library cards, etc) that identify me adequately should anybody question who I am. I certainly don't think that the people should have to pay to carry them.

Finally, I agree with you - from Councillors to MPs to the Prime Minister, they should all realise that they have to listen to the people and serve them rather than dictate.

Are you sure you are a member of the correct party Gayle?
You almost sound anti-Labour

Very funny, yes I am part of the right party because on local issues they have the best approach and the best vision for the town.

As for sounding anti-Labour - no, I am just pro-common sense. National issues should not be confused with local issues, I am fighting a LOCAL election.
