£93 is extortionate, especially if its compulsary. People are wary enough of these things as it is and charging everyone this amount is un called for.
I'd be willing to have an ID card and as a concept i generally think its sound. Any problems of inconvenience etc would soon become habit and TBH i dont care if the government knows info about me. Its just another stat to them and has no REAL effects on me surely?
However i really dont like the idea of paying for this. How often will i need to renew? Also what ages will require them. To me one of the benefits is if its a standard ID card then it can stop underage problems (drink, smoking, censorship etc), so surely younger people should have them, but thats even MORE expense on the parents. Some families could be forking out £480 just cos the government wont fund its schemes.
Oh and if the Government is gonna save shit loads of money from the implementation of this, surely they can afford to implement it? Just not throw billions at wars for a few years
