Digital ID Cards UK

Post Reply New Topic

Just wondering what people think about this

We're all getting one apparently

idk bout cards, but its obligatory here, france & ndls, too, digital id, but the id's i have aren't allowed, its complicated,
more so another expensive thing
as they (gov) think smartphone per person is obligatory too
well i have no income, so all that isn't in my reach, or travelling to bethlehem to get your certification??

someone was already worried for me becoming not a citizen anymore
to the gulags with me then

They reckon it's going to stop illegal immigration

Okay, here's the thing. People went on marches to protest against immigration. Apparently Starmer has invented this digital ID scheme as a means of stopping immigration, exactly what the protesters wanted. Now the same people are disagreeing with the idea by coming up with conspiracy theories, saying that this digital ID scheme is wrong and that they'll be monitoring everything we do and all that.

Same with COVID. Everyone wanted there to be a vaccine, but when we did get a vaccine (which did notably lower the numbers of hospitalizations and deaths rather significantly) everyone began getting all suspicious and reckoning the vaccines were dangerous and were killing people, etc. Ugh.

This is why I am always confused and don't know which party to vote for and which side of the political spectrum I belong to any more. People want a solution. They get a solution. The solution turns out to be worse than the problem. Rinse and repeat.

They reckon it's to stop illegal immigrants fro working in the UK

As far as I'm concerned, that's what your NI number is for and most jobs want proof of residency anyway and they have done for years...its a pain in the bloody leg as it is

It'd be more handy if the ID card thing also acted as a passport but apart from that I'm not bothered if I'm last in line for one

Why don't Starmer want the immigrants to work? Aren't they supposed to be escaping war-torn areas and seeking asylum?

Some religious people in England dont like the ID cards.

with the current government we have in the UK I don't think its good but on paper its good because you could use your phone to prove something with your id but I think they need to go over the risks like I think these ids could be easily faked without proper planning, also I don't think they haven't said how private they are because for all we know they could be tracking us or act like actual ids.
