There is a lot of evidence pointing towards the introduction of digital ID cards at the moment with recent events. Pritti Patel saying this morning she may want to track people on Twitter - well that needs a digital ID.


Now is the time to do it if thats your aim (I remember Blair wanted ID cards) as lots of right wingers calling for them without realising their Covid vaccination status and other data will no doubt be entered too as we progress.

If you have a passport or driving licence (both of which are linked) then there is already a form of digital id out there for you. Add to that credit / bank cards and loyalty cards plus other schemes and your digital footprint is complete.


I can't see the problem with having an ID card (be it digital) as unless you have something to hide then you have nothing to fear


Plus it may well sort out social media as trolls will have no where to hide 😱

This is a perennial authoritarian solution looking for a problem, and each time it's shown that ID cards won't work, a couple of years later it's a new reason. It's to stop terrorism - no wait, it's to stop benefit fraud - actually, it's to save travellers the hassle of carrying a passport...


Patel's apparent enthusiasm for it in the wake of an assassination where the full facts remain to be established is sickening but not surprising.


Blair, Brown, Cameron and May managed to waste ?5 billion on this toss. Wonder which chum of the government will get the first contract? G4S, Serco, Capita, SopraSteria all rubbing their hands right now.

I actually thought vetting made sure you are who you say you are (if you do it properly) and we at the moment don't have the resources to re-vet police officers.


I'd say requirement would be for a verification department that verifies the identity of every ID holder - or alternatively you just accept that many people will get (or worse collect and sell) fake identity cards and accept that.

If you've ever been asked to identify yourself online then services like the post office verify service check you are who you say you are by looking at your existing digital documents and information so I suspect services like this will be used rather than the sort of vetting done by police and other key organisations.

The resources will come from the ?30-or-is-it-?300 fee we would be charged to get a card.

I think that microchipping people would be the best way forward and understand government is speaking to Bill Gates about how this could be achieved through fabricating a pandemic, and then a national vaccination programme where a chip could be hidden in the vaccine.


Remember, I told you first.....

The Govt?s track record so far on ?Brexit? and the Pandemic would indicate we can have every confidence in their abilities.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
