So we've touched on this in other threads, but I decided it deserved a thread all to itself! :)
Apparently/allegedly the company that has been selected to run Labour's digital ID app is called Multiverse, whose CEO is a fella called Euan Blair, whose Dad happens to be the war criminal former PM Tony Blair, whose think tank the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change has been advising governments all round the world on Digital ID systems. :-X
Follow the money as they say.... ::)

Yes, this has Bliar's stench all over it.

Sadly it is inevitable. Everyone in the world ( when it is controlled by Emperor Xi) will have implanted chip to ID them. Naturally countries championing freedom, free speech and so on will kick against it. Yet you have ANPR, cars that can report where and how you were driving, phones and social media. In fact people are happy to be bombarded with offers based on their surfing.
So what is the actual issue with having ID? Everyone in Spain has an ID card. In twenty years I have been asked for it once ( when Igot stopped at a routine roadside stop). It is however very useful in transactions eg ordering goods as it gives the vendor solid info as to who you are.
If it was linked to social security/ health number, national insurance and bank accounts it would help weed out fraud perhaps.
-
An ID card I'd have no issue with. I have a driving licence and a passport, after all.
..but this is a government-mandated "app" on your phone which you require to exercise the privilege of having a job. With this country's track record on delivering IT projects and securing data. :-X
-
I heard this is for adults, but what about teenagers, underage drinking etc.
I had my 1st drink in a pub at the age of 14, the 2 lads I went with , both older and with tattoos were asked to leave but I was told I was OK to stay. so maybe ID may have been useful for my friends.
I understand the need for it but like everything it's only any good if applied properly.
Then there's all the fake ID like driving license, passports, will this become the same.?
-
This is from the .gov site. The bit about digital ID deterring illegal immigrants from making dangerous journeys is a joke surely. They can’t really believe that will stop them can they. This digital ID idea appears to be further along than we’d like it to be, and I have zero confidence of our data being secure. ::)

Add in all the wonders of AI and the world is going to grind to a halt very quickly.

All very well if you need it to work / gain employment, but neither my wife or myself have no intention of working again so presumably we won't need one.

You will probably need it for a hospital visit, or when dealing with any government department.

Truth be known Starmer and his Fabian society mates are all big fans of the Chinese social credit system.
Speak against the 'system' and you may find you are not allowed to travel, or your bank account has been frozen. :-X :-\
Expect even more knocks at the door from plod because they may need to check and correct your thinking.

This goes way beyond showing ID, they’ll link it to your National Insurance number, your NHS number, your pension, your banking and whatever else they see fit to do.
On the .gov site link, the ID will contain your name, date of birth, nationality, your photo, and they are in discussions regarding adding your address on as well. But don’t worry, it will all be secure, said nobody. ;D

Indeed, and it will be far more than that too!

I don't think he'll get it past his own MPs.

Oh definitely. :y Starmer’s Blair’s puppet, if you look closely you can see the string. ::)
I’m sure that Starmer has some mental issues.
He told an interviewer that he has 2 sons, one son of 15 and one son of age 13. He actually has a son and a daughter so that’s weird.
He then wanted his sausages returned, and now he thinks he’s Tony Blair and needs a digital ID to remind himself that he’s not.
His family must be so ashamed of him. Just imagine the shit you’d get at school if that was your dad.

That's probably why he has an injunction preventing the media from identifying or reporting on his family I expect. ::)
One of 5 injunctions so I believe. One of the others probably relates to Ukrainian rent boys! ;D

Yes, probably a good idea given his lack of popularity. :y
I did hear that a reporter asked his son his name and Starmer said **“Don’t tell him, Toby”**. ;D

Ok, so I made that bit up (although the name is correct).

;D

Ahh but that is the question… Toby or not Toby?

I bet he wishes he wasn't.

The most ridiculous hallucination he's had is that the government can deliver a working IT project in 4 years. :D
Oh, wait! Blair Jr. has probably been working on it for years, bankrolled by his father. :-X
-
Given how many big organisations have had data stolen in the past few months, and it appears at least one of them paid £20m ransom to the crooks, and the data was still leaked anyway, can you imagine a civil service department keeping the data remotely safe? Or even store it exclusively in sovereign territory?
No bloody chance. Not a hope in hell.
Silly me, I thought to legally get a job in the UK you had to prove you were allowed to work here. How is this ill considered idea any different?
There is a very simple way to stoop illegal small boat crossings, and the Royal Navy could use the target practice. That would be a proper deterent, though I accept would have to be done 9 miles out from France....

My solution would be to immediately ship them back to various French beaches using RN landing craft. Let the French or whoever handle their asylum claims. Yes it would create a bit of a furore but in the grand scheme of things the French would get over it. Just a fortnight of returns would see the route dry up.
A friend says he would use Hercules to parachute them randomly back into Europe!
-
That's a bit Liberal Leftie, Sir Varche ;D
And I suspect not a big deterrent, as they would try again next week. If their boats were sunk by the RN 9 miles out, it would be a big deterrent to those who managed to swim back, and a non-issue for those that didn't ;)
Yours faithfully,
Right Wing Thug

It seems likely that Oracle will be involved (as well as Blairs son ? ) in the scheme as the owner is a very good friend of Blairs.
He gave Blairs foundation a huge amount of money - £275 million if my memory serves.

The Swiss have just very narrowly voted for Digital ID Cards, 50.4% for and 49.6% against. ::)
Apparently the American tech company Palantir who are heavily involved in digital ID card systems worldwide, including the UK's proposed scheme, sponsored the Yes campaign. :-X

Yes where are you keeping it now exactly mate👍👍🤣. See you later🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don't find the card per-se to be the issue - as others have said we have driving licenses, passports, NI numbers etc. For me the issues are...
1) Are we required to carry it at all times? Or is it like a driving license - you've got 3 days to get down the cop-shop with it?
2) Who can 'demand' to see it?
3) If I get attacked by a great white lesser spotted Somerset squirrel and am bleeding to death, are they going to demand to see the card before treating me?
Anyone who thinks this is going to stop illegal immigrants getting jobs or claiming benefits is an idiot, who will probably be voting Reform at the next election anyway so there is zero political capital for Labour in introducing it. Barking, the lot of them.
-
Reform is the answer, now what’s the question?
-
Although I would go so far as to say Chuck the wasters out and replace the house of commons with the OOF. We can surely do a far better job. How could we possibly do worse….,
-
Left hand, right hand springs to mind. ::)
From the government guidelines:
Under the government's plans digital ID will be required in order to work in the UK, but the government says people who aren't looking to work (for example, pensioners) won't have to have one.
From Lisa Nandy :
While announcing the government’s plans to roll out digital IDs, the culture secretary Lisa Nandy said “ALL UK citizens will have a digital ID” and that “ALL UK citizens will have to have it”.
I don't find the card per-se to be the issue - as others have said we have driving licenses, passports, NI numbers etc. For me the issues are...

From the .gov website :
1. No requirement to carry it with you. :y
2. Certainly NOT the Police according to the .gov site, but no doubt they’ll abuse that like their obsessive ego for normal ID. (That last bit was me, not the .gov site) ::)
3. Funnily enough they don’t mention that one, regardless of how you came about the injuries. :)
………….
so there is zero political capital for Labour in introducing it.
But there may well be massive financial gain for Labours puppet masters who are orchestrating the development of this. :-\

The only people who might possibly believe this will stop illegal immigration etc. etc. will be the hard of thinking who vote Labour.
No one who votes Reform will be taken in by this nonsense. Or indeed the nonsense the Tories spouted for fourteen years.
Thats why they vote Reform instead of the two parties who have run the country into the ground. :)
-
Or it could be that reform turn out To be just as bad as the others?
I bet right now there are people who voted Trump thinking things aren’t going well just as there would be Biden voters who thought the same. They are all the same. Promise the earth and deliver beggar all ( but manage to get rich from it with books, after dinner speeches etc.)
-
Worse than what exactly?
-
Of course they could turn out worse, (although it would be hard to be worse than this lot) but we know for a fact that the others are utter shite, and have been for over thirty years, so bearing in mind their general direction of travel is the right one, its worth giving them a chance in my opinion.
-
Certainly nothing to lose from it.
-
Apparently the American tech company Palantir who are heavily involved in digital ID card systems worldwide, including the UK's proposed scheme, sponsored the Yes campaign. :-X
I vaguely recall they leaved a load of data to crooks a few years back....

If we don’t give them a chance we’ll never know🤷♂️ and at the moment looks like they will get there anyway if the polls are anything to go by.

I’m guessing that anyone that signed the petition would have received their reply by now. ::)
The Government has responded to the petition you signed – “Do not introduce Digital ID cards”.
Government responded:
We will introduce a digital ID within this Parliament to help tackle illegal migration, make accessing government services easier, and enable wider efficiencies. We will consult on details soon.
And then Blah, blah, blah and a lot of waffle and then this bit :
For clarity, it will not be a criminal offence to not hold a digital ID and police will not be able to demand to see a digital ID as part of a “stop and search.”
So, if hardly anyone downloads the government app, the system will surely fail before it’s even started. ;D On the website it goes on to say that anyone that doesn’t want a digital ID can have a physical card or, if they don’t want a physical card they’ll have to use their NI Number and photo ID, such as a passport or photo driving licence. It will still be acceptable for employers to check as usual. Now there’s a novel idea. ::)
You couldn’t make this shit up could you.
An employer who has previously flouted the ‘No NI Number or proof of right to work’ will still flout the digital ID rule, so it will make no difference.
-
Spot on.
You either have a well executed scheme that is mandatory OR use the money saved on the authorities doing their job and swooping on businesses and dealing with the illegals and employer. OOF could supply the target business addresses. Or set up a snitch line.

Apparently he didnt even mention it in his speech at Conference.
I think he knows (or more likely, has been advised) it isnt going to happen.
I cant see they can get it up and running during this Parliament, and if they won the next election it will be a case of " last one to leave, turn the lights off".

The company the government hinted they would use - Palantir - have come out and said they aren't interested in bidding for it, as it wasn't in the manifesto, thus is undemocratic.

This just shows what a bunch of useless far left student activist amateurs we have running the country. ::)
Not the first time something like this has happened either.
A few months ago Starmer went to Albania for a European heads of government meeting of some kind and announced on camera with the Albanian PM stood by his side that he was going to do a Rwanda style deal with the Albanians, to send illegals there for processing.
I don't think so! The Albanian PM replied immediately! ;D

Shame he wouldn’t just fk off.

Check your phone apps as they’ve started putting the Gov UK ID Check app on our phones already. I’ve already uninstalled the app on mine, it’s a blue app. I’m well pissed off about it. >:(

Oops, this could be me being a div. ::) I had to verify some paperwork the other day, can’t for the life of me remember what it was, and I had to use the phone’s camera whilst holding my passport close so that the check page could read the chip on the front of the passport. I bet that was when the app was downloaded (not by me), so hopefully nothing sinister, just me being a pillock. :-[
Old people and technology, how embarrassing. :-[ :-[
-
Ive just been reading a thread on Nexdoor.com where a lot of people are noticing this App on their phones, and they all say they didnt download it.
If its being done by the Govt. its disgusting.
-
Apple are probably in on it.
I was thinking about this, and we already have a digital ID account. It's the account you use for any .gov services such as passport or driving licence renewals.
What Smarmer is proposing is a physical card to reflect this preexisting system of registration. Arguably it's largely unnecessary as you have the actual digital ID already. For physical ID a driving licence is linked to this digital ID so another card is unnecessary.
That doesn't make what he's playing at right by any measure though and he should be shottedstopped by any reasonably effective means.
-
I don't really understand why they're doing this. Couldn't they just read the chip that was implanted during Covid?
-
They have being trying all ways to track us, I remember when they talked about chipping/implants when a baby was stolen from a maternity ward years ago, they were trying to explain it was the way forward into the future. Maybe for them, certainly not us. :-\

Apple are probably in on it.
I think most people know I hate Apple with a vengeance*, but they are quite good at fighting off such stupidity, so methinks you are talking crap ;)
*despite having an iPhone, iPad, iPod, Macbook and Mac Mini - turns out I just hate Windows 11 even more ;D
-
The Govt. demanded recently that Apple give them a back door into icloud (possibly connected to the Britcard thing ?) Apple refused and say they will never comply.

Connected to terrorists and criminals, initially. But these things have a habit of expanding and morphing into something much bigger.

Time will tell. I am on my second work iPhone. It's easier to use my personal Sony phone for pretty much everything except for a couple of very specific Apps that work simply won't allow access to from personal devices. And I deeply resent the fact that my work Office 365 account trumps my personal one on my personal phone. But that's a fight for another day.

Unrelated to digital ids, and has been going on since the previous government.
The US and EU have tried to enforce similar, and when they legally have to provide such access, Apple remove access to that feature in that region. Hence, and it pains me to say, Apple are most likely one of the good guys in that respected.

If the Britcard is to be an App on smartphones, whats to stop everyone simply telling the Govt. that they dont own one ?
I would imagine the only way they could disprove that is to have access to icloud and whatever the Android equivalent is ? :-\
-
icloud and whatever the Android equivalent is ? :-\
Google Cloud
-
Although not all Android devices automatically use Google Cloud. Huawei and ZTE for example are banned from the Play Store and Google services.
-
Not sure that's such a bad thing...

They will expand its use until it becomes impossible to function in society without your digital ID StarmerCard, and everyone will end up having one. Well that's the plan anyway. >:(
He let slip during a speech in India a couple of days ago that the StarmerCard will make it easier to access your money and make purchases. ::)
Bastard. :-X
-
I have no doubt whatsoever that is the planned destination.
Once there they can if they choose then control just about every aspect of our lives.
Its the kind of thing Blair has dreamed happy dreams about his whole life, and he is pulling Starmers strings on this.
Starmer is just the useless, but potentially useful , idiot in this game.

I can see sales of Doro phones picking up significantly if this comes to pass. ;D

That’s handy, as I have a brand new one that was heading for the tip….

List it on ebay as " Britcard exempt." :y ;D

This is getting serious! >:(

All jokes aside,.go ANYWHERE in the US and after 9pm even your Nan would get asked for ID.

I expect that's more about their litigation culture than anything else.

Mission creep with the shiny new Britcard will be inevitable. :-X

I've never been asked for ID in the US. Even buying booze in Walmart liquor store. It must be you!

Ok pretty much any bar... Walmart and other supermarkets take a slightly more supermarket approach.
The only time I haven't been asked was in Nashville on NYE... And I suspect that was more to do with wearing a T Shirt that said "Nothing some sleep and a good fxxk wouldn't cure" as even the skipper got asked.
Some establishmenta are more strict than others, Tequila Jacks in Long Beach will ask at lunch time.

I got ID checked in a Walmart in Houston about 10 years ago when buying beers. :)
I was quite flattered to be honest. :y ;D

Different states have different rules. South Carolina - no ID needed. Wyoming - need ID to buy wine gums.
It's daft. On a ski trip to Jackson Hole, went up to the bar at lunchtime for a Jug (4 pints I think). Your ID sir? You what? says I. I need to see your ID sir. I was about 50 at the time. So back to the table (passport was in my ski jacket) to get passport, then queue up again. Here's my ID says I. We can't sell jugs to just you - there need to be at least 2 people. So back to the table to get a friend. Queue up again - 2 ID's and two of us. Yes you can have a Jug. And whilst we're here, can my mate also have a jug says I. Of course Sir!
We didn't do much skiing that afternoon.

Most of the places I have been asked for it, it's been by security on the door. The two obvious exceptions Yard House it tends to be the server or bar staff, same for Tequila Jacks.
They don't like you double parking, especially near the end of Happy Hour. >:D

Is it a small part of Bill Gates Globalcard dream / nightmare ?
He wants every citizen on earth to have a digital identity.
These modern day megalomaniacs are as scary as Adolf imo. >:(

It is absolutely inevitable. 99% of the population will be monitored/ controlled by 1%.
Healthcare, daily food, work monitoring, taxation, punishment for deviation.

That'll take a while, there are a lot of deviants out there.
-
Mrs Varche’s plan envisions the deviants being minced up and fed , presumably as burgers, to other first strike deviants. Solving overcrowding, offending and food shortages etc at one go. There soon would not be many deviants. ;D The world would be praying that it was run by The Boy!

By posting here, I'm guessing you have a computer or smartphone running Microsoft, Apple or Google software. So you are already been tracked with a digital identity, no matter what settings you think you have ;)

No denying we are all half way there, and not much can be done about it.
Its the final part which gives those in positions of power the potential for close to total control of our lives and removal of almost all personal freedom that is the really terrifying thing.
It sounds like tinfoil hat stuff, but when you read about serious proposals from very influential people asking for " every citizen in the world to have digital ID", it seems like its becoming real.

A large rump of the Labour party see no problem with a Chinese style social credit system being implemented in the UK. :-\
Closing down the bank accounts of people who say hurty words about comrade Starmer would be considered acceptable.
I'm really hoping this gets kicked out on it's arse before it gains more traction.

I guess the difference is whether the data is in the hands of incompetent governments or incompetent mega corps...

The data would end up in the hands of everyone, including China, Russia and the US.

I think the thing is that this would bring all of our data together in one place, all ready to be stolen or sold to the highest bidder. ::)
And held by the government who we know don't have the best interests of the British people at the core of things and who have a track record of losing, leaking and having data nicked! :-X
