Once, ID cards were tantamount to the death of England – and ‘who lives if England dies?’.
Now, we are at best evenly split, at worst solidly in favour of ID cards – one recent poll has support at 57 per cent.
Supporters say ID cards are convenient and will stop illegal immigration.
Ultimately, ID cards are about control.
ID cards went against the spirit of our nation, ‘England the freedom loving’.
