Because it's not their money they are spending, and because it doesn't affect their bottom line they won't lose their jobs.

That's why I left. I just couldn't deal with it any more.
Heck on one project I had a proposal for £45m+ of potential savings but they'd have to invest 500k to make it happen. The savings were double/triple/quadruple checked by experts and were validated.
They sat on the shelf for nearly 20 months no one wanted to help me deliver it or make them come to life because it wasn't "in line with normal procedure"...
Absolute waste of time and effort.

Ignoring the fact it's pretty much impossible to prevent people coming in illegally, a Digital ID could be made to prevent those that don't have one being able to work and accessing services.
As said though, it would require the Government to actual put in some heavy weight measures alongside the ID but they're too busy pandering to everyone and dealing with the folk that think it would lead us to some 1984 dystopia-esque future.
Not sure how that’s a ‘major blow’ if they are not one of the home office’s preferred IT suppliers.
According to Google’s AI, the Home office uses Capgemini, Fujitsu (it will not be them), Motorola (emergency services network) and a company called Sopra Steria.
Historically they have also used companies like Atos and Capita.
I’ve not heard of Sopera Steria but the rest are massive players in public sector IT and contracting generally.
It’s not news, nor is it a blow because they probably wouldn’t get the contract anyway so it’s just nonsense noise from the fail as usual.

If you watch that 'Parliament will consider ...' date, it has gone up by a day every time. I thought these things were supposed to tick down, not up!
They may consider but it is likely not to have a division (vote).
I think our hapless/hopeless/useless government would have had a slightly better chance of getting more people on board with this ridiculous idea if they hadn't just flat out lied from the outset.
Their arrogance is almost unbelievable, although hardly unexpected.
Trying to now bulldoze it through and upon us by force is I expect going to go very very badly for them, one only has to look at the petition and the latest polls to see what a monumental disaster this'll be.

Yep. What they should have done was simply announce that they were going to modernise the National Insurance system to make it available on your phone, with photo, if you want it as Id (you need it anyway to work).
It's possible to stop most of them, if we actually had a proper border defence. We're an island ffs, the only way here is by air or sea (or one tunnel).
There is absolutely an ulterior motive for this digital ID crap. Probably to tie it in with the OSA and internet access, which has already fallen flat on it's arse.

How? Short of thinking the boats which is obviously barbaric and never going to happen, you can’t stop them.

The way you stop them is by making the journey worthless. Deport illegal immigrants immediately, catch them all at point of entry and return them, news will spread. Also reduce the generousity of the benefits to an absolute miserable minimum and remove people once their right to remain is over. Stop being so ridiculously geneours with our right to remain.
Remove the pull factors and increase the risk of wasting your hard earned criminal gang fee and people will stop paying to come here.
Not sure I’d call £10/week and shelter generous but sure.
No one’s risking everything (literally) to escape whatever hell they have come from for nothing.
You could remove the 10/week and out them up in tents. It wouldn’t matter because that would be better than where most of them have come from.
It's more than homless Brits get. Some of it could even be conisdered a luxury tbh.
Free hotel stays and food forever? I'd take that even as someone with money lol. I'd rent out the house and retire now (which I bet some of these migrants are doing!)

Only if you believe that most are refugees and not economic migrants who can afford to pay smuggler gangs. Also I think the whole refugee system is rotten and broken we should fund in region asylum not import ghettos.
