Election Year or Fear!

I stand corrected. Always called geese round my way

Hmmm, but then there seem to be a few examples of ‘compelling evidence’ for things that don’t actually exist ‘round your way’.

…and I remember it, but you have to remember that ‘our Andy’ has a memory like a sieve…when it suits.

Old age for you lol

Anyway now TTR is back we can look forward to some dubious links to support his claims. But in fairness at least he makes the effort and doesn't just get his information from some taxi driver like our Nigel has admitted he does.

Anyway, Digital ID, yay or nay? For me it's a yay, seems a good idea to me.

Wouldn't even be 10-15 years now what with all the ravenous immigrants eating wildlife left right and centre

Ah most of those illegal immigrants havent got that far north yet, they are still feasting on the seagulls in the south coast, but when they are all gone.....

Indeed, very, but I meant the ?community?. I believe there were quite a few post war that established themselves beyond the seventies. Surprising really. Gets very cold and bleak up there in winter.

It was before the war, some rich guys private collection escaped. They do say a harsh winter killed a lot off but there are still isolated sightings.

Digital ID.

I suppose it all depends on how far the digital ID goes. We've had them in the Netherlands since 2004, online, not a physical card. You use it for all communications with government, both local and national. It's used so that doctors, hospitals etc have access to medical records when treating you. New health issue, different hospital, the new hospital can see what other issues you have and what meds you're on. You use it for your annual tax returns. That's the scope of it. Nothing sinister in it. There's no tracking of whereabouts. No bank transactions checked. Not connected to retail outlets. There's no controlling of what you spend, where or what on. There's nothing sinister in it whatsoever. If the UK goes as far as NL I see no problems. Go further and then it does raise serious issues. My opinion based on 21 years of having a digital ID issued under tight conditions for its use.

I have problem with it personally, in fact t I think it would be an improvement over the many digital IDs I already have. But I’m don’t see how it will make a significant dent on the activities of those who seek to circumvent the laws, civil or criminal.
