A theme of the case presented by the UK government is that society is facing new and/or increased threats in the 21st Century, to which a new response is required.
The proposed ID System is presented as an apppropriate and effective response to these threats.
The initial arguments for the introduction of the ID System are drawn from the relevant
Home Office web sites.
The initlal counter arguments are drawn from the No2ID campaign...
...and the
Open Rights Group sites.
