Better IDs that can't be faked for booze, etc are needed. It's almost like a national card, tied in with your NI number to give over 16s access to the NHS, over 18s the right to vote, etc. could all be fixed on one system. Obviously that's too simple and will infringe some woke lemon's human rights.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist -
ID is a no brainer.
Much more controversial idea is to have all money going via an HMRC account - no cash at all.
Should be good for tax evasion detection of those who spend more than they officially earn.
Expect this to happen by 2040 at the latest.Comment

They already have good access to most of your information, it might not be acessible for most of the interested parties but there are agencies out there selling it. And if large companies are interested in aggregating a good part of it, I am sure there would be no issues.
not quite sure why people are bothered about ID’s, it might not be the gov collecting the data on them.
I belive there should be a more thorough conversation on GDPR and applicability post brexit and what is next as well in that domain.
gov issues currencies are probably next as well to be able to trace cash flows but it should not interfere with the principles of the market. Or we shall see…
what was the conversation about? Apps and data? Gov knows everything about you anyway, it’s just the other parties…Comment

Must be Devon. Here you only have to hobble into outpatients or your GP with an ingrowing toenail and you'll be instantly surrounded by so many fussing doctors and nurses you can barely breathe!Originally posted by SueEllen View Post
