I fail to see the angst here about I.D. cards, what’s the big deal? It wouldn’t bother me.
All my French relatives have them, always have, my elder son who lives in Germany has one, as does every German.
My younger son had a Venezuelan girlfriend in his twenties, and they were mulling over moving to Madrid, and getting married, he was informed by the Spanish Consulate, that they’d both need I.D. cards to live permanently in Spain, he just shrugged.
Good luck with that if asked for I.D. at an airport.
You need a passport at an airport, which is an official document.
None of the "ID cards" being sold in the UK are official, so what's the difference between that and something you just made up to look professional yourself?. PASS is something made up by a company and you can't use it when you need to prove your ID for anything important anyway.
