Digital I.D

How’d you feel about it?

It’s a big yes from me, then follow it up by announcing we’re going cashless.

Not sure it's really fit for purpose. It certainly won't fix the illegal worker issue.

I'd go after the likes of deliveroo before wasting any more of the tax payers money.

Don't use cash myself, can see why there's still a huge place for it in society though.

I've been cashless since the start of covid, if a shop or pub wants cash (which they are perfectly entitled to) I'll move on.

Wholesale introduction of mandatory digital ID, it's a no from me.

We’ve already got all our information out there digitally. Bank cards, loyalty cards, gym membership all on our phones, then you’ve got online shopping and banking, your sat nav / google maps etc. it’s only those that are up to no good that don’t leave a digital footprint every day of their lives. CCTV, ring doorbells, biometrics in work.

This one definitely crosses the political divide mind.

I'm up for things like driving licenses and passports going digital. A brand new Digital ID to go along with both of those, not so much.

Only tended to use cash when getting a taxi. Since the introduction of Uber that's gone out of the window.

Cash can't get hacked, just saying.

It can get physically stolen though, just saying

So can your phone or smart watch.

I only use it for matchday parking down the football. Can’t think of anywhere else.

Indeed, so nothing is safe if someone really wants it

 

[exiledclaseboy]

Instinctively any form of mandatory ID, digital or otherwise, makes me nervous because it’s so open to abuse by a nefarious government.

True, I'd rather lose 30 quid cash, than my phone. I think you know where I'm coming from though.

Only other place for me is the hand carwash, the Albanians haven't gone digital yet.
