Ok, I've read a lot about the new-fangled ID cards that our government is introducing (whether we like it or not).
My opinion is that they will not achieve their desired objective and will be an expensive inconvenience for us all.
So, since actions speak louder than words, I have decided that my family shall not have ID cards.
This means that in 2012, when our passports expire we will not be able to leave the UK., so our holidays abroad will cease!
