The ID cards will be compulsory in the UK
The Home Office in the UK wants to make identity cards an integral part of the identification system. The ID cards are very important for the development of the country, according to the Home Office.
It is clear from the reports that the ID cards are not appealing to the general public. In Manchester, the government had a plan to check the number of people interested and the results said that only 8,000 people are interested and applied for the identity cards.
Lord Brett, the minister who is in charge of introducing and launching the ID cards in UK accepted that there were a very small percentage of people who applied for these ID cards.
According to the report of the Manchester Evening News, the poll indicated 81% adults do not want to take part. It also states that the 44% rise in the money spent by government this year is due to ID cards and the government has spent 140 million pounds on the scheme.
The identity cards will be compulsory if you want to get a job and to travel in Europe. The Criminal Records Bureau and the Home Office wants to make the livelihood of the people dependent on this system. Lastly, these ID cards would be directly linked to the police stations and this scoring system will decide the suitability of their jobs.
