Fine. Outsourcing is the right of every company, whether it's outsourcing motherboard construction or programming. Of course the flip side to the free market is being able to buy from any country.

If you've got nothing to hide, then why worry about it,
Everyone has something to hide, everyone bends and breaks the law on a daily basis. Ever cross the road at a pedestrian crossing when there's no green man? Ever drop a cigarette butt on the floor?
unless they fear a reduction in the ability of illegal immigrants and criminals to hide in the country.
How in the world will this help. To get into the UK you need a passport, yet they avoid this. There aren't enough police to stop all the drivers with no mot/insurance/license so how will ID cards make a difference?
Actually, to stop spam, all you ahve to do is make it illegal to buy anything from these spammers. Think about it, they arent going to send millions of emails out if noone buys anything are they?

Living in the UK I do download a lot of TV episodes over t'internet before buying the DVD, but aside from that the prime reason I have ADSL is because it's always there. No dialing up, no waiting 30 seconds, if I want to check something I just check it. When you have it there all the time, you dont realise what things are like when its not there.
In the era of Rolling News, Being the first with the scoop is important. In the UK we have 2 major 24/7 channels, News24 (BBC), and Sky News (Murdoch). Sky is usually first with the breaking news, and it drives the News24 editors mad. However their braking news involved stuff like this
1:07: "BREAKING NEWS: Bin Laden Captured" 1:09: "BREAKING NEWS: Bin Laden *not* Captured"
News24 generally waits for a higher standard of conformation before going onair with breaking news, but it's not infalliable.
The BBC also have another rolling news channel, BBC World, which is broadcast everywhere but the UK. Due to its audience it is essential it's accurate. It isn't always accurate, but it's the most accurate, and slowest, rolling news stations I know. It waits for 2 independent sources before breaking a story.

Well we've got a 60TB array capable of dozens of 135mbit playback streams, but that's nothing compared to the data Information and Archives goes through (imagine over half-a-million hours of standard definition programs, and thousands of HD programs).
Very few places in the computer world hold a candle to the TV and Film world.
True. I live about 100 yards from the A4, near Earls court (a main route into central London), and the number of people that drive astound me. I moved here from 15 miles away in East London about 6 months ago, and hired a car to take all my stuff. Took 2 hours to drive across London, on a saturday night. It was quicker to take a massive detour round the M25.
But, replace the cars with public transport and you get an extra million people on the already overcrowded trains and tube, the infrastructure can't cope. Throw in a tube strike and you're screwed.
Our road system sucks, 1/4 of the length it should be. Give me Germany's any day.
However a 55mph limit for a 500 mile drive? No thanks. How are you meant to do a 1000 mile jaunt with one driver in a day at 55mph? You can't even have a drink at the end of the day until you're 21!
I don't expect 3G coverage in every valley in Montanna, but there's no excuse in your cities and highways.
