IDENTITY CRISIS

Poll suggests ID card backlash

The UK government could face a public backlash to its proposals on ID cards a new survey has found.
Up to 5 million people (28%) would demonstrate against ID cards the survey conducted by online research firm YouGov found.
One million would be prepared to go to prison rather than register for a card.
The survey paints a different picture to the recent MORI poll which found that 80% of UK citizens were in favour of cards.
