I love this proposal, I think it's an excellent idea - if we have to have an ID card at all, of course - but (as mentioned at spyblog) the way of acquiring "referees" is open to abuse, and for that reason the proposals may well be laughed out of consultation.
I find it mildly amusing that this came out a week after LSE published a report reckoning that ID cards would cost 300 quid per person, too.
Oh, right! Ok, I wasn't aware of that; it's a carefully managed release, then. Excellent; seeing as the LSE has had input with No2ID, I'll look forwards to seeing the full report when it comes out...
