Well here we go again more strike action the bin men and now the passports, but the point is that low paid people can’t live on a low wages in an environment like this one, as this government seeks higher pay for them self’s for a job they haven’t done in the first place, unless you think wrecking this country is a good idea and telling others to do as they are told and work for an unliveable amount, I do hope you stop to think on the work for the dole idea that unemployment would be a thing of the past if only people where given a liveable wage, I believe this is just the start of things to come good old labour well I wish it was.

Your article is factually incorrect about choice. From the ID card scheme official website: "The National Identity Scheme will eventually become compulsory. This means that all UK residents over 16 will need to have an ID card."

Quite right, Paul from Exeter. In fact, instead of moaning about not getting a good enough pay rise in order to meet the rising cost of absolute luxuries such as fuel and food, they should all volunteer to work for free while standing to attention and singing God Save The Queen. The parasites...

Paul, you're a fool to say that. Personally I am proud to see people actually protesting. Britain has become so apathetic recently, look at the fuel situation, we need a good old fashioned stike or two to make sure we're not ignored. Unless, you'd like to continue moaning over the garden fence?

Well isn't this just another example of some nasty selfish people (Passport Service workers) spitting on their own countrymen and women?

A completely uncaring and un-patriotic act. They should all be fired and have to apply to have their jobs back. Stuff them.
