AOG The introduction of mass immigration??
These people were asked to come to the UK , they did not simply decide to come here. After WW2 there was a terrible shortage of labour, due to the huge number of working age people mainly males who had been killed in the war. The government had a bright idea, to ask people from the commonwealth to come to the 'Motherland' and work here to fill the vacancies . When they arrived they were greeted as heroes come to help the UK. People actually lined the streets to welcome them. They were cheered and looked on as heros. TV news reports where shown of them arriving to civil receptions.
Nothing could be further from your 'Mass Immigration' comment. Many of them left jobs, family and friends behind to come here to a strange country and help us in our hour of need.

You do surprise me, I am always reading on here that signs went up stating "No Blacks" etc.

Theresa May misled parliament -deliberately

Her official was backtracking soon after her statement.

The decision was not taken by the labour government , which Number 10 ,knew full well

I would say that what is needed is a functioning system, a card per se is not a prerequisite for the system to work, as foreign countries have demonstrated. There you can (in most countries) get a card for the purpose of proving your identity if you feel you need to (carrying a card is a requirement in some countries, but not all) so long as the system works (like abroad), a card is mostly for things other than proof of duties and entitlement because they are fixed according to your residence status. Elsewhere, so long as you are entitled to residency, you decide whether you want to take it up or not (i.e. live, pay and claim). If you are already a national then the system has that established from the point of you becoming a national (birth or on successful application) - you cannot become a national and/or take part in society (live, pay and claim) unless you either are/become a national or otherwise legitimately claim residence, and are registered as such. If you are not registered you cannot claim any rights and you won't be asked to pay - in a proper system. Incidentally, in a proper system nationals can register as non-residents and thereby renounce rights to claim and thereby step outside the payment system (taxation). Property owning, etc. non-nationals can also register as non-residents. If either nationals or non-nationals registered as non-residents infringe taxation rules regarding economic activity within the country or length of stay limitations, a proper system will treat them as residents but then along with payment and other duties they automatically get a resident's rights regarding claims. This is all very foreign and un-British.
