[Starmer is weighing up digital identity cards
for UK citizens as a measure against
Channel crossings, sources tell The i Paper.]

ID Cards for all, you say.

[bots]

a further step into authoritarianism. Every measure he implements reduces everyones freedoms. Yet again, it's the GBP that suffer, the migrants will be deported

[Cherie]

If someone knowingly employs an illegal, how will ID cards make any difference they will just employ them anyway what the hell is going on, there are a myriad of ways they could stop the boats ID cards are not one of them

Oh dear me how.

every day this failed government gets worse and more dangerous

CCTV on every street, facial recognition in shops, and your phone tracking you 24/7. An ID card isn’t some big step into dictatorship, it’s just another bit of plastic in your wallet.

the whole way privacy is destroyed is by picking up fragments of information on you and then joining them together to get a fuller picture. There is CCTV in big towns/city's but the majority of the country is cctv free. Not many shops round my way have cctv. My phone doesn't track me, thats easy to do

Every piece of information you give up, is a step tn the wrong direction. Why do you think 99% of porn viewers in the uk are bypassing age verification

What benefit will it bring, what will it cost, why can't they use NI numbers, the country is 50 billion in debt what a waste of money

What if they can control your bank and your money if they don't agree with what you say or think? Like Trudeau did in Canada during Covid protests.

What if a right-wing government gets in and takes on that power for them to use?

But still can’t find where I said I wanted it…

Probably for the best. Looks like you’ve embarrassed yourself for all to read.

What if you are in the witness protection group? I don’t see how that’d work

So there is already a card you can apply for if you want to prove identity and age

why not just give these free to illegals, they get everything else free so this shouldn't be difficult...?

Me too! My driving licence and work ID are always with me.

If the IDs are going to be digital, will they provide a phone for those who haven't got one? Maybe offer them the choice of an iPhone or a Samsung.
