      Great, always wanted one. I remember wishing for one as a child when blowing out my birthday candles.

      This totalitarian nutjob needs removing from power, the Labour party have gone well off the rails.

      Is this adding to the £50 billion black hole or just another tax!

      Going to be a huge blowback for such a marginal benefit…

    5. The-Peel on

      I can’t think of a single good thing this guy has ever announced or done as Prime Minister.

      Its like he keeps making all the wrong decisions on purpose.

      Digital drivers licences were coming this winter anyway (which I’d definitely use) so I couldn’t give less of a fuck tbh I don’t know why people are being very overly dramatic about this other than force of habit

      I don’t see why this is a bad thing, many countries in Europe and the rest of the world have this and it doesn’t make them dictatorships.

      How long until it’s revealed that it’ll be Palantir in charge of creating the database?

      How is this any different from having a bank statement and a photo of your passport on your phone?

      Well, the crowd that screams that voters should not have to present ID should now not have a problem with votors having to present id. 
      A much bigger issue is the USA, but with elections under more and more scrutiny, the reactions will be telling.

      Not trying to antagonise but why are folks so negative about this?

      Folks like Apple Pay and Google Play and are happy to use digital wallets for boarding passes and cards why not a drivers license / passport?

      Don’t see the issue myself but perhaps I’m missing something? I dunno.

    13. Look-over-there-ag on

      Why are people getting so upset over this, it’s just an ID….

    14. Little_Pink on

      About time, it will let us fly around the EU without a passport …… oh wait. 

      Nonetheless it’s probably useful to have an easily accepted ID card without having to pass a driving test.

      >Anyone seeking to start a new job or rent a property would be required to present their digital ID, which would then be checked automatically against a central database of individuals entitled to work in the UK

      Interesting that the Telegraph are quite careful not to be too obvious whether they are for or against this, unlike their usual stories.

      They’re probably waiting to see how their readers react before they attack (or support) it.

      If the legislation is well written (big if) and it’s limited to situations where people have to prove right to work, then I don’t see how Reform and their newspaper backers can criticise it, unless they want to claim they are pro illegal immigrants being able to work?

      Obviously there is the slippery slope argument, but that can exist with any system of checks.

      We have that in Spain and many other countries has it. I don’t understand the push back on this

    17. Hellstorm901 on

      So if we have a digital ID do I still need to verify under the OSA because surely by having a digital ID to access the internet my IP should know I’m an adult and thus the random websites collecting your data on behalf of China and Russia shouldn’t need your proof of identity

    18. Delicious_Bet_6336 on

      Genuinely curious – how is this different from a passport? (I get not everyone drives / kids etc so a driving license doesn’t work)

    20. ThenIndependence4502 on

      Wonder which government donor will get the billion £ contract…

    21. Dinesaur on

      Im not concerned about digital ID as a concept (practicalities of data security aside). However as a trans person, I also fear this to be implemented in such a way that forcibly outs me disproportionately to when such info would actually be required.

      I remember in my nativity play as a child I was playing a Roman who was ordering people to register their identities with the Roman empire.

      The original zealot, Judas of Galilee, led a revolt against this census

    23. MSweeny81 on

      >Britain is one of the few countries in Europe without a national ID card system, which critics claim has allowed a black market in jobs to flourish, making the UK attractive to illegal migrants

      So presumable all these countries in Europe with this system have a very small number of illegal immigrants and a very small proportion of those are working right?

    24. Horror_Extension4355 on

      Sounds totally sensible to me provided that it is enforced and that there are consequences for individuals and hiring companies that disregard it.

    25. limeflavoured on

      Its worth noting that Reddit is massively more anti-ID cards than the general public.

      I personally don’t care all that much, as long as they don’t require you to carry ID in public (which no one is suggesting)

    26. RedBerryyy on

      Tony Blair must be practically crying with joy right now.

      What some ppl fail to grasp is this will be used eventually to track everything you do, limit your movement, limit your spending and give you a ration card of carbon credits that limits your freedom to do anything.

      See China social credit score for one we made earlier.

      Totalitarian despots want you living hand to mouth with whip in hand if you want to complain.
