chartpolski 23,525 Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 I can see Blair wanting this in his quest to be world President in the future globalist government, but I’m disappointed in Hague, he’s went very strange, (ok, he was always a BIT strange), since he left government and was elevated to the Lords.

ZacB 114 Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 They tried to digitalise the NHS & look how many millions went into that failed exercise - now they want to issue ID cards to every man & his dog, what a complete waste of time and money. Pillocks ought to get on with managing the issues we currently face not thinking of more hare brained schemes to cause more. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chartpolski 23,525 Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 The idea of photo ID for voting is a good thing in my mind. Most of us have some form of photo ID now; driving license, passport, bus pass, etc. So a voter ID card for those without any other type of photo ID would be fine with me. The problem is "mission creep" once the voter ID is introduced there would then be some who who want it to be expanded and for you to carry it at all times and be produced when ordered by the likes of the police. Still not a bad idea, it could help in the tracking of illegal immigrants, etc, but I get the feeling it would be abused by the authorities and end up a National ID card to be carried at all times. As someone once said; " give someone power, and they WILL abuse it......give someone absolute power, and they will ABSOLUTELY abuse it"........ Cheers. 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it was used to catch illegals I'd be in favour. Unfortunately we already have a million illegals and failed asylum seekers who we can identify and still can't deport.....so I'd say start with the other end of the system 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 8,017 Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 On holiday in Italy, the police boarded a train me and the Mrs were on. They went through the train asking Italians for ID cards and tourists for passports. We had left ours in our room safe at the hotel. I knew it was a technical requirement to carry passports but I thought, in reality, nobody would bother. There were 3 cops with their peaked caps pulled low over their eyes. They tried to frighten us by pretending to be discussing our lack of passports in serious whispering tones. They asked for bank cards but we refused to give them over. I told them to ring the British embassy and at that they promptly f****d off. That's no way to live. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
