Quite right. Around 2 million UK adults don't have photo ID, mostly concentrated among poorer and less educated people, and many of those have difficulty getting credit card for the same reason. The UK is violating their basic ECHR rights to freedom of speech, freedom of assocation, and the peaceful enjoyment of their property, and it's unnecessary because we already have parental controls.

Most continential Europeans, like in Spain and France, have mandatory strong ID. I have never seen "paper please" there.

This argument simply doesn't work.

I have some really bad news about the freedom of offline speech in the UK.
