RE: UK Government Mandatory Digital ID Cards - Capita services to UK Govt?1 Oct 2025 15:02
"Digital ID won’t happen" - LOL it's already happened... ID checking/verifying via apps or websites is already required by many services: estate agents, banks, NHS App, HHRC - just to name some examples.
Not to mention the Gov won't be running it themselves, it'll be a service which businesses can tender for no doubt. A little like how some GP practices allow you to access your own medical info, via a service (those practices not using NHS App).
Load of fuss over nothing - typical for ppl to complain about migration, then the moment the Gov suggests a practical solution to improve the situation the right wing rags & commentators jump on the bandwagon - as they don't really want the problem to be solved!
