Even if there is no evidence for something that hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't happen. Probabilty, pattern recognition, direction of travel all tell us it won't stop at "only needed to work" for long.
You’re right, the system is likely to be used for interacting with government services. However that doesn’t really change anything as they already have your ID on every single system they have because they won’t give you anything unless they know who you are as has always been the case.
This isn’t a particular concern.
Indeed, and you can dismiss them all you like. I'd like to think I go into this future with mys eyes open and ears sharp rather than blithely dance into the darkness to the sound of merry tunes and the smell of freshly baked bread thinking everything will be fine because I can't see the future and the state will always have MY best interests in mind. I'm wary, that is all. Survival instinct if you will, based on what I've read and learnt about how humans have acted in the past across all cultures and ideologies.
I’ve not dismissed it out of turn, my eyes are very open. This objectively isn’t a roll up of all the data the government has on you.
Like I said, the government could do that without digital ID already. They can’t because it would breach the laws they themselves have put in place like GDPR and the HRA.
It really doesn’t matter if digital ID is added to one of the methodologies for logging into your DVLA details, it’s just a means to an end just like you can use your passport to access your HMRC details.
It doesn’t mean the DVLA, Home Office and HMRC information is being rolled into a single place.
There are saying that they really want to do it. By 2029. End of parliament = no say for the public. They didn't have this in their manifesto, they have no madate for it. They should be blocked by any means necessary unless they hold it to a PUBLIC vote after extensive campaigning and education on the matter from both sides of the argument. At that point, when people have been given the opportunity to weigh it all up, have a referendum.
That’s not how democracy works in the country (or hardly any country). Hardly anything governments do are in their manifestos.
The prior two prime ministers were not even leaders of the party during a successful election campaign.
The irony here is polling suggested 60% of people supported digital ID just weeks before the government announced it as a policy. That’s a bigger mandate than Brexit and Pretty much every general election ever held.
No political party has even obtained 50% of the vote in my entire lifetime. By that logic, no one has ever had a mandate for anything.
The double irony, the Swiss, who are one of the few direct democracies, just voted to implement a similar measure.
Pfft, well alternative is they put this in place, Reform come to power, then I suppose they can do what the hell they want with it then for at least 5 years with no public say. Scary stuff.
Reform could implement it and do what they wanted with it anyway, it changes nothing.
. You already know this information assuming a few things behind the scenes.
