Mandatory ID cards (Brit Card) to be announced tomorrow
- Thread starter diy_fun_uk
- Start date
It cannot do any harm, if properly and securely implemented. It will deter immigrants, because one of draws for them, is the ease with which they can become part of the black economy.

I’ve mentioned this was loaded and ready to be fired out a few times.Government to announce their plans tomorrow.
Predominant reason for the card (at present) is for it to be shown if seeking employment i.e. to crack down on illegal workers. Card to be checked against central database to ensure its legitimacy.
Citizens will likely be asked to produce the card in other scenarios (tbc).
To be called the Brit Card (tbc).
Primary driver is to reduce illegal immigration.
If it comes to pass, I'm not convinced an ID card will have much if any positive impact on reducing illegal immigration. Your thoughts?
Every adult in Britain to require new ‘Brit Card’ ID
Civil liberties groups warn mandatory digital IDs risk pushing ‘unauthorised migrants further into the shadows’www.the-independent.com
What next I wonder….
That will be a big fat no then - the gov does not have a good track record on that - neither do anyone - ask M&S ask Jaguar Land Rover etc

Digital ID and the fact black rock have investments in a few things. Remember when Starmer welcomed them to the UK….
Wait until they start building little villages etc to home the immigrants.
People are so stupid. Here's the thing that will solve the problem we deliberately created. Honest. Oh errr good, thank you almighty leaders, tell me where to sign.
Employers are already required by law to check the ID of staff, by whatever means. E.g. a passport, bills, etc etc. Those who already just don't bother aren't going to suddenly start checking some ID database. We're all being lied to.

The problem is, the employers of the black economy are fully aware they're employing illegals already.
Does anyone still think that Starmer actually wants to reduce immigration?

I don’t. I think he’s doing his subtle best to increase it.
I’ve said it for a while now. Digital ID is the next Covid.
Farage: Compulsory ID cards 'will be tool of suppression'
Downing Street revealed this week that ministers are looking at digital IDs as part of plans to clamp down on illegal working, in the hope it makes the UK less attractive to illegal migrants.
In the past I would have answered 'aye right!' to such a post.
The way things are going, you may well be right.
Other parties already coming out against the proposal. Will be interesting to see if it gets the votes to be carried through.
We won't stop much (any?) of it now, the way tech is progressing, it'll be ever easier for government to physically stop you from doing things should they so desire e.g. 'in the interests of public safety.'
I can easily see a future where cars might be temporarily limited to certain zones (e.g. covid mk2) and if you try to leave the zone, the car goes into limp mode until you return to your designated zone.

Governments have consistently proved they cannot be trusted with data. This is a bad idea and it will make Identity theft easier. I hope they abandon the plans. It's a massive con to pretend it will help reduce illegal immigration.
Hopefully the next government will scrap them.. again.
