Absolutely agree, only that they won't be ID cards, the'll be exit visa's.You'll get to the airport going off to see the lads play abroad, hollies, business or whatever, and the bloke at the gate will say 'sorry Mr Smith, you haven't filed your income tax return, or you haven't paid this months council tax. I'm afraid I can't let you leave the country'.
Fucking commie bastards have wanted this for ages.
