I moved to away from Scotland 5 years ago, with the intention of eventually returning to the UK. However, I am currently in the process of giving up my British nationality, this is something that makes me sad, but I prefer to give up my nationality of birth rather than trust the Blair/Brown establishment with any more of my details. I agree with you 100% Tom - any data they get from me will be through force, any ID card I receive from them will be shredded. Who on earth are these people Jacqui Smith has been talking to? *Everyone* I know back in the UK is against ID cards and as far as I can tell so are pretty much all of the people who are experts in counter-terrorism, the kindest thing I've heard any of them say so far is that they wouldn't be any use.
