Get your brit card

[Peoplesoft bloke]

I don't have an issue with an ID card in principle. Because the UK has always shied away from them, people are forced to use other documents as proof of identity and some can be very expensive to obtain......

For once, I think Kemi said the right thing: it's just a statement to distract from Andy Burnham's shenanigans.

Ironic since Burnham was such a good boy supporting the last ID scheme but is apparently opposed to this one.

I think the average take-away, restaurant or builder's gang would be easily fooled by a Photoshop fake.

Apparently builders don't care.

There are a few ID schemes already for them and there is no enforcement.

Certainly many people hang out in the convenience corner of the security - privicy - convenience triangle.

Many of us choose carefully which Apps to use; some of us still prefer websites for financial transactions.

ps - I don’t use Google!

Fair enough, and I'm also quite careful about privacy and apps.

Having said that I'm pretty sure that those shouting loudest about the tyranny of ID checks know little about those issues and care even less.

Scope creep!
