Earlier today I learnt that the Government wants to issue ID cards to UK citizens. They think it will scare off illegal migration. I find that very funny because other European Nations have ID cards and it has no effect.
I already have ID cards, two rail cards and a driving license. They all come with perks. Even store loyalty cards come with perks. If I get an ID card I expect it to come with a perk. My drivers license lets me operate vehicles, my rail cards give me discounts on train tickets, my store loyalty cards give me better deals on goods. My question is what is the perk? Is it just a key to get a job? Would there be more, would I get an advantage of some sort. Would I only be motivated to get an ID card if I wanted a new job?
Let's see what happens.
