The intro to this page is not sourced and feels very one-sided, covering only the problems and disadvantages of ID cards.
E.g. "As with most forms of state control, they remained in place well after the threat had passed." No citation, also no definition of "state control", and a very one-sided assessment.
"There is no reason to believe such tension would be less today" is stated without evidence. The whole point of this page is to set out the evidence that does exist, not to speculate.
"The last person to be prosecuted for refusing to carry an ID card was Clarence Henry Willcock" is arguably not relevant.
"Latest polls suggest that current Government plans would create three million new ID "refuseniks"" - May be true but no citation and again a one-sided view.
Material on campaigning removed
editI removed a lot of (cited) material on campaigning and political statements, because the article is about opinion polling. I added a reference to No2ID in the lead, so that readers can find it elsewhere. I have been bold, there may be a case that it should have been retained but I couldn't think of one, or more precisely why it should stay in this article. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 12:23, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
