Always. It affects me not one iota. What is there to be concerned about?

It will when its connected to your CO2 allowance and you have used it all up - so no more skiing for you

this is another problem with it. they are telling people they don't have to carry it, but it will be on their phones, which most people will want to carry.

So if you don't carry your phone, what will you be unable to do?

Same.

I'm tracked and traced every day, whether I like it or not.

I'm not going without a phone. Not going without debit and credit cards, and I like to travel so I'm keeping the passport too.

Not getting rid of my car, or my savings accounts. Happy to not pay my taxes , but I seem to be on their list and can't get myself off it.

Not too concerned about my Tesco, nectar and other "reward" cards but they bring me more benefits than problems so I will keep them for a while.

My NHS number is useful, as is my N I number occasionally.

And every time I want to order anything they want some details to prove that I am who I say I am, so unless I want to go and live in the forest without any services and not buy anything then tomorrow will be the same as today and yesterday.

So you really can't see the vital difference between any and all of those and a MANDATORY state issued ID "document"?

nothing :) i will be able to do everything that i do anyway. they can't stop me, i have no respect for the government or the police and i don't intend to start now.
i'm concerned for future generations that don't understand where this is going. they are already obsessed with their phones and it is being used against them enough as it is. i am against all of it. people laughed at the idea of having a chip implanted in their hands, but now they carry one in their hands by choice all day instead. so many of them don't even realise what it is being used for either. blissful ignorance.
 
The funny thing is the luddites who won't engage with the system are also the ones most at risk for it. Their data will still be in the system, but they won't have any way of being notified that it is being used and they're the ones whose identites could actually be stolen.

What data will be put there? How will it get there?

So you're saying that the Government is going to allow my data to be stolen?

Who will be using it? For what purposes?

It doesn't matter if you delete the token on your phone, you're still on the database.

What if I never install the token in the first place?

It's covered earlier in the thread, but essentially it's going to be a consolidation of all other government Identity systems to share a unique single identity for each person and to allow reliable cross referencing.

They've already got your data.

Then you won't get any of the protection you get from having real time updates on if your identity is being used and if someone else manages to fraudulently identify themselves as you then you're going to be in for a rough time.

Have they got themselves an exemption from the GDPR?

You really have drunk the Kool-Aid, haven't you.
