Nationalists slam ID cards
The Isle of Man Today reports that Manx nationalist group Mec Vannin has slammed the idea of compulsory national identification cards.
Chairman Mark Kermode said:
There [is] also the question of cross-citizenship inequality.
With the very large number of itinerants in the Island who would be subject to other jurisdictions’ criteria, effectively, the only people who would be subject to compulsory identification in addition to a huge range of existing incidental identification methods – such as passports, driving licences and credit cards – would be the people who had every right to be here in the first place.
The whole thing becomes self-defeating.
