  11. UK Government Plans to Charge Admission to National Museums for International Visitors

    A terrible idea. Just make art galleries free for all and encourage tourism!

    *Reads article*

    ".. the implementation of charging international visitors to enter national museums is “conditional on the government first rolling out a universal ID scheme, which would make it easier to differentiate domestic and international visitors.”"

    FUCK NO!

    it's bank cards as pseudo ID cards rather than doing it properly. The next step will be store loyalty cards. Afterall, they do know rather a lot about you! #VoterID #UK_politics #IDCards

  25. Very pleased to see that the government has listened to reason and scrapped their crazy scheme for mandatory ID cards. This is a welcome development.

    Maybe the strong opposition to it had an effect after all. Just goes to show that it's worth speaking up, signing petitions, writing to MPs, and all that kind of thing.

  30. Government drops plans for mandatory digital ID to work in UK | BBC | ID Cards are not dead yet and we need to keep the pressure up…

    … however, this is pointing in the right direction:

    “The government has dropped plans requiring workers to sign up to its digital ID scheme in order to prove their right to work in the UK, the BBC understands. By 2029, right to work checks will be done digitally – for example by using biometric passports – but registering with the new digital ID programme will be optional.”
