FIPR, Privacy International, Stand, Liberty, the Liberal Democrats and several other groups have launched a campaign to stop national identity cards in the UK. Their slogans (you need pithy slogans for a campaign these days):

An ID scheme won't stop terrorists

An ID scheme will not control illegal immigration

An ID scheme won't enable you to have anything you do not already have

An ID scheme will cost billions in taxpayers money and achieve nothing
An ID scheme will mean your most intimate details will be controlled by the government forever

An ID scheme will cost everyone £75 every year

More power to their elbow.
