If there was a law that stated that all
drivers when driving had to have their drivers licence with them (as
there are in other domocratic countries), with the risk of being
prosecuted if they don't, would there be an outcry - hardly.

Oh yes there was. There is a big difference between being British (or at
least English) and being from one of the ex-colonies or other parts of
Europe. If you remember our passport used to "require and demand"
foreigners allowed us free passage through their countries.

Send in the gunboats.
