And, that’s when we’re truly fu( ed

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

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.

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?

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

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.

[Doctor Gollum]

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. 

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.
