Proving your identity!?

[BolshieBastard]

Ere Bolshie good luck with using an ID card for travel. The whole thing, like most government projects, is a ******* expensive pointless shambles.

I dont want an ID card for travel purposes. The fact that it could also serve as a passport to EU countries would only be an added bonus if I ever had need to travel within the EU in the next 10 years.

I have no issues with that... apart from you supporting Nu Liebor initiatives and helping them justify massive taxpayer money waste



You see, you are making assumptions about me without digging well - smart posters on here who've known me for some time would not make such mistake (stupid ones might ): IR35 does not concern me in any shape or form.



I am very white - I am going to PM you now details, and feel free to post here your response whether you think such details are white or not. Don't worry I don't expect you to PM me your arrangement - I don't want to know them

You really are clueless, arent you. Dont bother with the pm. You're on ignore.

You most certain did suggest someone using an offshore scheme should hold a passport. When further shown even that argument failed since I did have a passport when in the scheme and that one doesnt need a passport for the IoM, where the scheme I was in was based, you tried to wriggle out of it by questioning people's intelligence.

I'll take your word that you had a UK passport at the time.

This does not change my argument - it was NOT about whether you need British passport to be in such scheme or not, it has nothing to do with it. Rather lack of British passport and participation in such schemes is a good indicator to me that the person has been resident here and should pay tax as onshore rates require.

And the point that I was trying to obtain a UK id card seems to have flown straight over your head.

I don't give a tulip about ID card.

Fair enough - I'm just pointing out that Home Office propoganda about using the ID card instead of a passport is overstated - the Germans, for example, don't recognise the UK ID card in place of a passport yet (although it is a moot point as you pointed out the ludicrous requirement to have a passport as well). If the ID card replaced photo drivng licence, passport etc and did all three things it might have some appeal (although I'd be concerned about a single point of failure), but it doesn't. It's a piece of goverment stupidity - a "solution" looking for a problem that doesn't actually exist.
