After COVID fiasco would probably be against but will wait and hear the details.

Another bit of our lives impacted by mass uncontrolled immigration.

Not able to work without one, threat. Trying it by force, only China and North Korea have something like this. Says it all.

Not happy. Only the law abiding citizens will be affected. Massive new industry about to be created, and all paid for by the law abid8ng tax payer.

As far as I can see it will only be people who are working or looking for work who will be forced to obtain a Digital ID card.
There will be no need for pensioners who are no longer working to require a Digital ID card.
This Digital ID card will not stop illegal immigrants arriving in the U.K. it will only stop them working illegally whilst waiting for their asylum application to be decided.

ID card start of slide downhill into much worse territory, it will be stopped in my view.

When an idea can unite Tories, reform, lib dems, greens, SNP, the IRA and the unions.....it's never going to become law.

It is more than a passing coincidence that Starmer announces his Digital ID scheme the day before the start of the annual Labour Party Conference.
Starmer is under fire with his failure to stop the illegal immigrants arriving in the U.K. so Starmer has adopted deflection tactics.
He must have been getting lessons from Nelms.

This from the master of deflection.

More worrying is that Tony Blair and some American technology billionaire are saying they can provide the necessary hardware. If we can be worried about Chinese equipment for mobile phone technology we should definitely be concerned that personal security would be entrusted to an American technology company.
It is looking increasingly that we are being manipulated by compa ies who seem to be bigger and more powerful than sovereign states.

If you had looked at the post with an unjaundiced eye, you would see the Islay was joking!

I realise you are making a joke!

No, I'm being serious.

Islay, by his own admission, doesn't joke.

Just wonder how many it would take to defy the edict to get the ID card to have the government admit defeat and scrap it? A couple of million maybe with the 'Spartacus' outlook should see off this insidious nonsense!

None of the politicians have put up any sort of convincing argument.

They wud be better just admitting "Tony said"
