Anti- ID has already smashed through 600K. 6 x the number needed to trigger a parliamentary debate,

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

I don't care one way or the other about ID cards or digital ID. But I do note that Digital ID hasn't in any way contributed to solving Germany's illegal immigration issues.

That’s because it’s not meant to.

Of course not. It's just another diversion to make it look like they are doing something.

Well if there is a charge to get it they can go forth in short jerky movements. I don't want one, i don't need one as i have a driving licence that works fine as an ID.
That won't be enough, though. You'll need it to access services, to claim benefits, to be inspected by your employers, to have a bank account, etc.

Illegal immigrants will simply work under the radar, as they do now.

The ‘heat map’ showing where signatories are from exposes Starmer’s problem - London is notably less worried about this than literally anywhere else in the UK. He’s surrounded by metropolitan liberals who are all telling him what a great wheeze this all is. He has no idea what he’s taken on.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

I already have an ID card from another country, it's pretty useful tbh. I've said before that I would like a UK one. We've been rolling out more and more checks between you and the state over the last decades so at some point we need to provide a universal way to do that. (or rollback some of those excesses, like having to show ID to vote)

Did he think of these ID cards himself, or was he listening to advice and direction from all those 'oh so clever' experts he has surrounding him?

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

whoever floated it was a prize prick of extreme measures . Literally killed the parties future chances of anything . Did Reform doing so well in the local not teach them anything? they just handed them it on a sliver platter

Probably the same bunch of Muppets that decided we need to age check everyone and make them give there personal data to any Tom Dick or Harry which pushed more and more people into using VPN's. Now Labour will be push even more people to Reform as you can bet your bottom dollar they will be the party to oppose this stupid idea

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

Probably time the Government(s) introduced a new department, an integral and much overlooked addition to how they operate.

I give you . . the Office of Political Suicide
