Mandatory ID cards (Brit Card) to be announced tomorrow

It may not be the best wording but it's not wrong. By refusing to use modern services you will be less capable/competent when youre eventually forced to interact with them by reality.

Has the price for this online service been announced yet? I'll put a bet on it not costing a penny.
It will cost billions, paid for by the taxpayer. Then there's the cost of a smartphone, and contract or PAYG. But the biggest cost is not money, it's fundamental freedoms.
 
Progress?
Progress as in "We can technically do this so we will."

This likely stems from the blatant nonsense that easier = better. Yeah, won't the world be great when we don't have to move from our living room and the only physical activity necessary is wiping the drool from the smartphone clutched in our pale sun-deprived hand.

Quite humorous how so many of the anti-brigade on here have also previously posted that we'll be on the Moon, Mars, and to the stars soon enough, but an employment card is beyond us ;-)

It'll break even for the government/nation. Simplifying that stuff will pay for itself in time.

More hilarious contortionism from the shmucks.

Also humorous how some of the anti-brigade regularly post "we can pay less tax through "efficiency" of public services (and emptying the country of brown people, of course)" but, when the government actually proposes an efficiency, they poo their pants ;-)

How could that occur? It will continue to cost significant sums of money year on year, for maintenance, admin, security and the like. Contracts of hundreds of millions for support are already in place (some with companies like Hinduja Global Solutions, a subsidiary of an Indian conglomerate - no issues with data security there).

The cost of the system is estimated at £2bn. If it comes in at anything less than £15bn I'll post a video on this forum of me eating my hat.

There are no savings to be made anywhere. People will still need passports and driving licences. This will cost a fortune and offer next to no benefit for individual citizens.

I think the problem here is you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. You appear to not even have the most basic knowledge of the concepts involved.

Au contraire: the fact that I have got you riled shows that I'm bang on the money (y)
 
I got riled last week by a horsefly that got under my shirt, but that doesn't mean it had anything of value to communicate.

You prancing around with a bug up your top.
You mashing the keyboard on here.

I can see how you see the two as closely related.

For your information, I would not make that association about myself (y)
 
Why, when you think we'll be living on Mars soon enough, do you think we can't manage an employment card?
I don't think we'll be living on Mars, and I don't know the relevance of 'managing an employment card'. In fact, I don't know what an 'employment card' is, or what 'managing it' would entail.
