Had to laugh at Starmer saying we will be issuing FREE id cards, like he was paying from his own pocket....its like they get together every week to discuss how they can make themselves even more unpopular, no money for services but the magic money tree will be given a shake for this

Petition against ID cards is up to 1.7 million signatures this morning.

Another totally useless idea which will cost the taxpayer zillions .. the people it’s supposed to target will just end up paying the criminals for fake ID

I will never accept a government ID card. I will never use one. If asked to produce one I
will refuse - and I hope you do, too

People who employ illegals, pay them less than minimum wage, pay no NI for them, will continue to pay them out of the hat. ID cards won't make any difference to them.

My thoughts exactly. Unsure how the government think this will reduce illegal workers.

Just one more example of the ineptitude of political ( whatever the party)


I think this political system has been flawed for over half a century ..


Wish someone would come up with an alternative to politicians running the country

Valid Points

[Cherie]

Even the illegals know it wont work, there was a Pakastani Chef interviewed being paid 5.00 a hour in a takeaway, his boss is not going to suddenly start paying tax and NI and a pension .... Starmer is a very dangerous individual

[bots]

No-one believes the government on it being to combat illegal immigration. To me, this is feeling like the poll tax under thatcher or the laws at the latter stages of covid

[Crimson Dynamo]

Its a really odd hill for this Labour Government to die on

[AnnieK]

Ive just had a chat with someone who believes these digital IDs are just the stepping stone to a digital currency. The Gov will say the cards aren't working as illegal workers are still being paid cash in hand and so will move to make us cashless and then be able to control everyones money etc.....he thinks after that there will be carbon credits etc etc
He is a little bit of a conspiracy theorist....but I suppose its not a huge stretch to think it is the start of a slippery slope

Honestly I am becoming one myself

Why is Macron sticking his nose in and saying UK needs them

Why is the obvious pull factor for migrants of free housing, food, clothes, phones, spending money, along with a raft of freebies just carrying on unabated

[BBXX]

Yes, this is absolutely the stepping stone to digital currency and probably to some kind of social credit score. It's interesting they've used the 'migrant crisis' as a reason and would make sense why the media has put a target on migrants backs... it's textbook manipulation: create a fear of something and then bring in the 'fix' to allow people to accept it.

My thinking is they would have done this during Covid but they underestimated how skeptical people became so quickly and knew it wouldn't pass. But the scaremongering about a Glastonbury field of migrants coming into the country in the last 6 years has done the trick.

Sorry, I mean it's done the trick stirring up unreasonable fear.

Yet again though they've underestimated just how against this kind of thing people are in the UK, regardless of the reason.
