You’ve said a lot but haven’t come up with any solutions

You say “we should be tougher”, please could you explain how

NOTE:

A) UK has no legal authority over France
B) U.K. can’t take them back to France
C) U.K. border won’t push back boats for fear of drownings
D) once on British soil they can’t be returned to home come country without an agreement.

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?

What difference would a digital id card make to our lives? Zilch in my opinion, it is just another app on your phone or a card to carry in your wallett.
