I don’t think he’s going to be able to get this through – he’s a lame duck PM choosing an incrediblly unpopular policy to nail himself to. He’ll be out by Christmas!

Here’s hoping! It would be a Christmas miracle.

Political tactics & or triangulation.
Certain parties could increase their popularity by being publicly identified as wholly against this:

1 – Reform?
2 – Separatist loons like the SNP, Plaid etc?
3 – The Oirish dimension?

I’m all for it. Identity is the foundation of everything we do. Digital identity “could” make it easy to establish and use.
My main concern is that it won’t be implemented well enough to be built on.

No Internet access without proving who you are with your Brit Card. No criticism of the state on social media that can’t be traced back to you.
It’s for work eligibility now but when did the state not expand anything beyond the original stated objective?

It’s that implementation…
.
Very Large IT Project. Authored by the Government, for the Government, using data from the Government…
And some very strict laws and rules who gets to have access to what tied to that ID that need to be made…

With the UK track record for large-scale IT projects and sensible and robust Lawmaking and the implementation thereof….

Pigs may yet fly… But the chances that it’ll be something that can’t be weaponised against Citizens of Undesireable Attitude is about as close to zero as our best attempts at getting to 0 Kelvin…

And that’s even before considering how botchy-leaky it’ll prove to be…

…And see the Post Office for a recent example of just how wrong an implementation can (will) go.

Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Belgium et all all have compulsory ID cards. How have they stopped the migrants? Oh, that’s right, they haven’t.
As the knobhead on GBNews this morning (the bloke presenter), in response to a guest saying we don’t want them, said “they already have details of who you are (etc. etc. etc.) why worry about digital ID?” Nobody said, ‘if they’ve got all this information already why do we need an ID card’?

Choosing the wrong battlefield over a stupid issue. The antis have copied the fear porn tactics of the ecoloons exactly.

No clanger said to Neil Armstrong you can’t work here ‘cos no ID
And no native American told a pilgrim you can’t labour here ‘cos no ID
And no monger told a whore you can’t take my money ‘cos no ID
And no public told a tool maker’s boy you can’t work as PM ‘cos no ID.

Although there might be other reasons not to employ him as PM.
