You don't get it do you? If you're working illegally, you're not showing ID. So how is ID going to help stop illegal working?Is that good though? Not paying tax means someone else needs to pay more to make up the difference
So, it's already the 7th most popular petition (albeit miles behind the don't brexit one):
If everyone can just sign this petition and then say "signed" so we can really fuck @Embattle off, if nothing else.

Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards
We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.petition.parliament.uk
I mean, Starmer doesn't mind starving babies, so I doubt he'll listen to the will of the people. But it's worth it for the Emb angle alone![]()
The only people who will benefit from this shitshow are the people who will make bucketloads of fake IDs and sell them for a tenner down the pub. Also due to the red tape it will bring employers more will go for paying cash in hand. Cash in hand has always been a thing and always will be a thing.You don't get it do you? If you're working illegally, you're not showing ID. So how is ID going to help stop illegal working?
Employers who are paying workers in cash aren't checking for ID. The workers are off their books - and both the employers and workers want it that way.
Tell me. How does having even more ID stop that?
How does Google, Meta and Apple know my ID is real and not forged? They only have a name/address,credit card data, again not proof of ID.So, less than 3% of the population have signed a petition. No doubt, a good majority of those signing have already given their data to Google, Meta, Apple and ironically the government already. Keep trying.
Starmer taking advantage of Brexit - drawing up a bill that will remove our legal rights to challenge damaging projects:

Pretty much turns us into China from an environmental planning perspective.
It was. But even I didn't expect Labour to be the party that fucks over our environmental legislation. Especially when they explicitly committed to strengthening our environmental protections.Wasn't that the point of Brexit? Or one of them anyway. Don't see how it makes much difference which party does it, it was inevitable.
But he's not above calling us anyone who thinks mass immigration has failed the working classes racist I see:

Keir Starmer calls Reform migrant policy 'racist' and 'immoral'

You're talking about a completely different subject here @Gwadien. The topic at hand is legal migration. Please stay on-topic.You mean the party that has fully taken the 'migrant crisis' as their number one policy and are doing loads of shit to 'deal' with it whilst the results will and always will be meh
Metric | Total, 1997 → end-2024 (range) | % of UK population (using population = 67–69 million) |
Gross immigration (all long-term arrivals summed) | ≈ 11.0 – 13.0 million | ≈ 16.0% – 19.4% |

So, you get to protest, once, and then you can shut the fuck up. Repeated peaceful protest is going to be banned.
Apparently they really want to stop the very peaceful gaza protests. But lets face it - it'll be used for everything the government finds awkward.
They also want to review all anti-protest laws because apparently they're not strong enough - specifically, but not limited to, strengthening powers to ban some peaceful protest outright.

@Gwadien. Are you in any doubt that Starmer's government is essentially facist, or is that idea still emotionally unpaletable?

Keep equating Starmer to Hitler and Mussolini, which isn't emotional in the slightest, I'd love to see your response to a Reform government that you seem eager to feed.
Which I'll point out again, is literally the narrative that the actual fascists have used in the past to get into power.
I suppose you could build a moat around your castle.
Could he expense it though?
The lions share of the laws that are used to crack down on free speech and protest have come under Labour governments. So, whilst not shocked in general (and again, agree with most of what you're saying) Starmer is doubling down at a rate I am shocked at.Shocking. No, wait, that's not the word I'm looking for, what's the opposite of that?
But the fact that you think this is unique to Starmer's government is hilarious; this is the British state, irrespective of party, and it's been gathering steam since the 90s. It wasn't Labour locking up Just Stop Oil protestors, it wasn't Labour banning protests outside our own parliament. This is a process, and it won't stop, because lots of red faced baboons can be utilised as useful idiots to endorse what the state wants to do anyway.
Why wait for reform when Labour are doing their job for them very nicely already thankyouverymuch?Keep equating Starmer to Hitler and Mussolini, which isn't emotional in the slightest, I'd love to see your response to a Reform government that you seem eager to feed.

You also seem to be inordinately jealous of a man with a 3 bed detached house, because you can barely post without mentioning it.I suppose you could build a moat around your castle.
You forget, I'm an employee like all you plebs.Could he expense it though?

There is a difference, and it's not just splitting hairs.

I am getting a bit weary of you saying I'm a supporter of reform though. What's actually going on is that you are sticking your fingers in your ears to valid arguments that reform is utilising to gain ground. You're so scared of reform that you're willing to suck the dick of a government that is already behaving abhorrently.
You also seem to be inordinately jealous of a man with a 3 bed detached house, because you can barely post without mentioning it.

I think what's more pertinent is that I don't have a party donor who'll pay for my moat like Starmer does, and I haven't sued the NHS on "behalf of my disabled son" and then used his payout to buy a house in Brighton.
