All Visa-branded cards offer protection in the case of fraud, non-receipt of goods/service, faulty goods etc.

Visa debit cards carry similar rights of chargeback to credit cards and it is not limited to transaction over £100.

Know your enemy

To know about the ID card and national identity register scheme is to be against it.

I have personally turned a mini several of people round from being mildly for the scheme to being very much against it after just a few minutes of quietly reasoned conversation. It's remarkable to me that many people are prepared to happily sleepwalk into a future of diminished freedoms and reduced privacy at the behest of a Government that has in truth no right to know much more about them than how many of us cast our vote in their general direction. A Briton's vehement adherence to his personal principles of dignity and privacy is worth preserving, and once lost likely gone forever.

The best way to protect your identity is to keep it private, including from the Government. Especially from the Government. Ergo the database should be ditched. Here's to you, lovely sensible Mancunians.
