ID cards wont stop terrorism but they wont hurl us into tyranny either.
They are a useful tool, a toold for identifying and keeping track of people in just the same way that passports are used.
Passports dont stop terrorism either and they can be forged as well as an ID card but I dont suppose you would advocate getting rid of them.
Immigrants ae here to stay, whover said deport them is in cloud cuckoo land, however ID cards would also help weed out illegals.
Like any new legislation it needs to be tweaked and reviewed council using the powers for minor offences should be bought to book, it doesnt make the law bad.
The detention times are required for effective investigation but the times are still subject to regular review.
We need to tighten up our terror laws, the UK is a happy hunting ground for illegal and legal immigrants, terrorists people traffickers and the like.
Misguided liberals are our worst enemy.
