If you're worried by the imminent introduction of ID cards and the National Identity Register, but you have to have a passport, now is your chance to renew and stay out of the system for 10 years. There's a number of good reasons to do it, and I recommend the factsheet at RenewForFreedom.org if you still have some unexpired validity and you're not sure why you should bother.
Really though, do you need any more incitement than that Charles Clarke has said that anyone who opts out of the NIR scheme is foolish? Here is the UK Passport application site. Download the forms and you're away.
