That's why I said 'in some form' - that figure increases to 57% when asked if they were in favour of a 'National ID Card', rather than a digital one on their phone. That suggests a couple of things to me: firstly that the majority of people aren't mad enough to rebel over a perceived Orwellian assault on their civil liberties and, secondly, that 20% of people are worried about someone sussing that they've been looking at 'BigTits.Com' or some-such on their mobile. -
we need more information - the actual facts on intended use and benefits - now and in the future, otherwise we're just speculating -
I think digital id is potentially a good thing, number of reasons for that. Eventually it will encompass services you already have from the goverment, your driving licence, you NI number, your gov gateway (all obvious extensions) Services like photo card driving licences have already proved to have flaws, including Mr Smith, who looks similar to Mr Green, passing Mr Greens test to get Mr Green a "dodgy" dtiving licence as an example. Digital id may also ensure only people entitled to NHS care get it and health tourists pay to use our health service. However, whilst I think.its a good idea, social media will ensure it is still born. Over the weekend I've seen so many anti digital id posts, including Kier as Davros leading the Labour Daleks (did make me chuckle) , comparisons to 1984 and even a song about it. Someone posted "what would happen if we all refused to sign up" and how within 31 days it would topple the government. Will it actually happen maybe , but I have a feeling, like most things whatever way it goes both sides will again employ project fear and misinformation. -
Yep. Yet completely in keeping with this mad post-Brexit country Yeah but the poll tax was manifestly unfair financially where the richest millionaire paid same as a single pensioner in a one bed flat this id thing is just… hysterical
