My point is that there are many other things that we could spend that
money on that would be much more likely to result in a benefit. Why risk
such a large amount of money on something when there are so many other
better uses for the cash?


Such as?

We - the population - won't feel it.

You are joking I take it...?

No, I really don't think that you'll notice the cost over the rest of your
life - or even over a few weeks. Most people seem happy to pay £80 for a
night's entertainment - it's not difficult.


We're not all money minded ...

Does that mean you are prepared to pay *any* price for something you want?

I only want something I need and then, yes, I'm prepared to pay any price.

You also say that as if there is some higher moral or ethical reason for
needing an id database. What is it?

That's your understanding, it wasn't my intent.

Look, it's going to happen at some time, it might not be in our lifetimes.
It's the way the whole world is going, I believe, whether we like it or not.
There's no point in tilting at windmills..
