Are the Lunatics Running the Asylum?

[WBA123]

Personally speaking I wouldn't trust our incumbent shower of s hit to run me one. A shower that is. The Digital ID system is fraught with potential abuse from those in power. Imagine if you will a world where Reform wins the next election. With a Digital ID system in place they would have access to your mobile phone and could potentially run checks on your movements, finances and place(s) of employment.

Things they could do now of course but with everything about you collated in one nice convenient place that you've indirectly granted them access to. Tell me of a world where you would feel comfortable with Nigel Farage and co having direct physical access to the pocket you keep your mobile in. Doesn't read very well does it? A bloke called Nigel rifling through the personals in your pocket when you go to the loo. Just saying 😉 .

Its fair to question who is in charge and their policies. But surely if the Digital ID system was regulated correctly, it would improve security in this country. People who are wanted for crimes or undocumented people who shouldn't be here can be identified quicker and easier.

The way I see it is its just like a driving licence, only its digital and on your phone. In the same way, are you concerned that the Passport office has your details? And in any case, whoever gets in in future elections - what has the general law abiding citizen got to be concerned about? I don't break any laws and I pay a lot of tax, what possible purpose would these people want with my information? I have nothing to hide so I have nothing to fear.

Totally agree! Nothing to hide, nothing to fear.

?Digital and on the phone?, hence trackable and traceable in a way a driving licence isn?t.

And to trust someone like, say Farage, not to misuse that!? Or Trump in another country!?

Well, I wouldn?t.

?Nothing to hide, nothing to fear? has been used by many leaders with a twisted view on democracy and the freedom and rights of citizens.

Orwellian times approaching!?

The majority of the country would trust Farage over Starmer Swedish as they are hammering Labour in the polls! Many are sick of illegals and the cost and they are coming in big numbers so they all need deporting!

Not sure about trust, but the latest Ipsos poll has Starmer and Farage tied for approval ratings when pitted against each other.

Farage is similar to, and modelling himself on Trump. A lot of people really don’t like them, but a lot of people do, and that’s why they’re going to do well in a popular vote because they’re so polarising.
