A national ID card will do. Or doesn't that exist in the UK?


Not yet, although there are attempts in the pipeline to make people
think it would be acceptable. We remember the War, and "papers please"
and don't want to go back to that.


The existence of a national ID card doesn't necessarily mean that it
would be obligatory to carry one or even to posess one.
You could see it as a cheap passport for travelling within the EU.


With our goverment, the one thing it certainly won't be is cheap.
