Why do some countries embrace digital ID cards while Britain resists them?

Lots of politicians argue that Britain should copy Europe’s digital ID systems. But our history and legal culture are very different. In the UK, freedom comes first unless prohibited; in civil law countries, rights are codified by the state. That’s why mandatory ID feels alien here.
