Seriously though, excessive cost is a fairly overriding argument, isn't it? Perhaps if they are voluntary, people like you, who have a valid reason for wanting one, can have one, whereas those who don't wish to pay for one don't have to.

I think its the thought that they may be made mandatory that has people up in arms.

I'm also for having them to prove who you are, maybe that would help the UK to remove (lol) the illegals. I am all for them being free to UK citizens.

Do you not also think that the EU machine will not just force the UK to roll over and accept them? as most of the EEC has.
