Agree that national identity cards are not a problem.
Here in South Africa we have probably the most liberal constitution in the world - yet the government understands the need for identity documents for every citizen to prevent fraud, ensure safe elections, and enable businesses to make their services available with the minimum of delay.
Nobody is required to carry their cards at all times, and I'm sure that provision is included in the UK version as well.
Once again liberal theory perceives a threat to individual liberty without any real-world examples to demonstrate their case.
