> I don't get the obsession you Brits have against ID

I'm not British but to me it's extremely clear why they are against IDs when e.g. the Danish aren't. Media like 1984, animal farm, V for Vendatta etc. all came from the UK for a reason, they've always had a government entrenched in a strong class system with authoritarian tendencies.

That said, if you're Italian you should probably be wary of IDs for very similar reasons.
