Say NO to I D Cards

The Liberal Democrats in Brighton and Hove are starting a petition against the government's proposed plans for the introduction of ID cards.

Local Lib Dem activist Ben Herbert argues that the government's plans should be resisted, saying "The government's plan for the introduction of ID cards is not only expensive, as it is estimated that the scheme will cost the taxpayer about £200 per person, it will also lead to minority communities feeling particularly vulnerable. I think that it is very important that we in the LGBT community, who know what it is like to be an oppressed minority, fight this potentially discriminatory move by the government."
