Silicon use the hyperbole "flooded" to describe the number of e-mails (~1000) the Home Office have received. Of course, one can guess Jacqui Smith is involved:

It's quite sad people are actually asking for them, though.
Dooby :)

Quite sad indeed. It can be difficult to blame them though with the propaganda and the shiny new card. "Look everyone, I'm part of history, being one of the first to get an ID card".

Yeah, I can understand where you're coming from here. Well, if you have nothing to hide, why not? It can only help the security of Britain! They will stop terrorism, and will make the implementation of RFID chips much easier, saving us all money! :p (heavy, heavy sarcasm!)

Nothing to hide, nothing to fear, is that why Shahid Malik didn't like being bugged? He is a supporter of ID cards, voted strongly for them, check they they work for us website. If they want to know everything about us then we should know everything about them.

It's the same with coppers who video us on demonstrations and through CCTV on the basis of "nothing to hide, nothing to fear" - but boy, do they hate being filmed themselves...

Yes, the hypocrisy is unbelievable. "Do as I say, don't do as I do".

It never ceases to amaze me the number of people who say, usually with a nonchalent shrug, that if you've nothing to hide, you've nothing to fear. They soon change their tune when asked if they'd volunteer to have a microchip in their arm, a CCTV camera placed in the corner of their living room, or submit to a polygraph test.
In my experience, almost without exception, the same sort of characters are ardent supporters for the reintroduction of hanging. Rather grudgingly they'll admit that people were hanged in error and plenty more since would have been if it had still been in vogue.
"So, then, you'd be prepared to see other innocents hanged by mistake, including yourself, family and friends?"
Cue coughs, splutters and plenty of "uhms."

Yes, I too find it quite annoying when people say "if you've nothing to hide.." etc. However, many are completely brainwashed. The media helps greatly in this agenda!
There are others who say "it's only a card, a bit like a passport. Nothing to worry about you conspiracy theorist!"
If you oppose ID cards, you're automatically a member of Al Qaeda!
