I don't see the problem with an ID card, what wrong with carrying a card that proves who you are, its only a problem if you are going to do something wrong. We already have National Insurance Cards, driving licences, passports etc

You need to sign a form (you get from the cops to explain how you lost it) losing it once isn't a problem (costs about 5 euro's) losing it a second time costs a whole lot more.
a police officer can detain you for 24 hours if you're 12 years or older and dont have your card on you.
Can only say its about time ID cards came in to UK all the bleeding heart liberal types whinging about privacy and human rights. It's like CCTV 99% of the time you don't even register the cameras when you wander around town centres etc, the only people that need to be worried are those with something to hide.
true example:
A work colleague car was hit from behind by a van she got out, they took each others details down and then she passed on info to the Insurance company, turns out the guy had faked his information and she could never get the insurance money .
If ID cards were compulsory he wouldn't of been able to fake his details and she wouldnt of been out of pocket by 400quid.
