snip stuff I couldn't hve put better myself

This scenario I paint is as much for Mary as anyone else,

How flattering!

because the
anti-ID card debate needs people with influence and I believe Mary has
that in some circles.

Um. True but probably not the right circles :-)

But Mary doesn't seem to care one way or the
other, because like so many people in Britain she surmises that 'it
can't happen here, not in good old Britain!'

That's not the reason. I just have yet to be convinced that it would be a
problem, your post emphasises my lack of conviction.
