Id cards wouldn't be necessary if you had a half pie efficient government.
It's pretty outrageous that the british government has so little clue about
who is in the country. You are an Island nation like us (New Zealand), so
simply make use of this advantage to secure your borders and ID cards won't
be necessary.
