ER Editor: Let’s follow the logic here: as a government you want to tackle illegal immigration (like heck you do). So – you invent digital ID for everybody. Well, that makes sense, doesn’t it. Pass the popcorn.
The Guardian has this —

Every Adult in Britain to Be Forced to Have a Digital ID Card Under New Keir Starmer Plan
WILL JONES for DAILY SCEPTIC
But it is fiercely opposed by civil rights campaigners, who say it risks turning everyday life into a “dystopian nightmare”.
Detailed plans for what has been dubbed a ‘Brit card’ could be announced by the Prime Minister as early as tomorrow before being subject to consultation.
Under the proposals, anyone starting a new job or renting a property would be required to show their digital ID so it can be checked against a central database.
Currently, employees have the option of showing a number of different forms of digital ID, but there are fears these are too easy to fake.
…
France has repeatedly claimed that the lack of ID cards in the UK acts as a pull factor for Channel migrants, who are able to find work in the black economy.
Earlier this month, the PM said that digital IDs could “play an important part” in making Britain less attractive to illegal migrants.
However critics of the scheme warned it could turn the country into a “dystopian nightmare” if people are forced into ID checks “to go about our everyday lives”.
Rebecca Vincent, of Big Brother Watch, said: “While Downing Street is scrambling to be seen as doing something about illegal immigration, we are sleepwalking into a dystopian nightmare where the entire population will be forced through myriad digital checkpoints to go about our everyday lives.
“Mandatory digital ID… will not stop small boat crossings, but it will create a burden on the already law-abiding population to prove our right to be here.
“It will turn Britain into a ‘Papers, please’ society.” …
Conservative Justice Spokesman Robert Jenrick also criticised the proposal earlier this month. He said: “Most employers who are employing individuals illegally are doing so knowingly.
“Asking them to check ID cards rather than the current checks that they are already obliged to do is not going to make a blind bit of difference to illegal migration.”

So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
