  1. I turned up today somewhere that I have a membership card for and sorted among the several cards in my wallet to find the right one.
    And I thought, not for the first time, that if there was a card onto which could be loaded arbitrary tokens by arbitrary organisations, such that I could be admitted to each of those on presentation of that card _and nothing else_, I would mind much less that it was a mandated UK ID card.

    Presumably the first #token loaded would be the #Citizen one.

  11. "Ministers have switched to promoting #DigitalID, which will be held in a wallet on smartphones, as a way to make life easier for people using public services."

    "Despite a distinctly lukewarm reception from the public so far, support from the top for digital ID has never fallen off the agenda. Let's not forget it started life in the form of national #IDCards under former prime minister Tony Blair in the early 2000s."

  21. 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!

  26. RE: newsie.social/@TheConversation

    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

  30. The government has rolled back a key part of its plans to introduce a digital identity scheme by the end of this parliament.
    People will no longer be required to sign up to the digital ID scheme in order to seek work in the UK.

  35. 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.

  40. 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.”
