As it was explained to me on my guided tour of Stonehenge, Leycock, Windsor, Runnymede and other points of interest by our wonderful tour guide: 'an Englishman
in his own land' is not required to carry ID; apparently goes back to Magna Charta, signed by good ol' King John..."when put to it" at Runnymede.

Actually is a moot point! I just re-upped my passport(every10 years and the picture don't get prettier!
) and paid extra $$ for the passport
card, good for
land travel only into Mexico, Canada or those 2 French islands in the Newfoundland archipelago since 1759. It
exists and is a national ID document with all the latest tech to prevent counterfeiting. An overzealous young LEO asked me for ID recently, and I produced it, whereupon he requested my
driver license...I wasn't driving I explained...his own partner soothed the situation and saw the argument my way. Any officer, in a non-traffic related situation, should accept the
world's best current ID when
tendered, as requested, instead of subjecting a permitted-
legally armed sovereign citizen(on the job) to a
supermarket style ID examination... my library card; my COSCO card; YMCA or my foto'd B of A credit card...once I have complied with the legal ID request.
