And Then It's An App…

   Seems I was wrong in my presumption that the ‘proposed’ I.D. Thingy would require quite a bit o’ plastic. It was an easy mistake to make as on the day of the announcement the MSM used the phrase along with the digital I.D. Wording. However I’m still a tad confused.   
   Well, so, let’s assume your I.D. Will be on a smart{?} phone. Anybody up there mentioned to the Stammer army how many smart{?} phones are stolen, lost or dropped and broken daily? Thought not.
   It seems that, first off, you’ll need this I.D. On your phone to get work. Will workers then need their phone to scan to clock on and off work? And you’ve just had it stolen? Use your passport or driving license? Sorry they are no longer proof of I.D. Quick, get a new phone, load the app from somewhere and again go through activating it using those documents again, passport an’ such wot are no longer considered proof of I.D. We been conned you think? Hello up there? Anybody home?
   I suppose most young folk will be happy with this and are looking forward with excitement to the prospect of playing with yet another free{?} app on their phones.
   I’m guessing you’ve been here, done that?

And Then Another Thought…

   Following on from yesterday and Mirage’s plan for the need to renew all Indefinite Leave to Remain visas and to deny renewal to any and all wot are on bennies thus saving the country money, a question worth asking would be wot will happen to these folk when they get back to their home countries with nothing? Expected answer would be, “Well, many will have family to help them.” Thus missing the second sentence wot’s, “And many wont.” 
   So how many of these countries, seeing a large increase in folk asking for help and costing them a shed load of money, will see the answer thus; Let’s find all Brits here, rescind their visas and send ‘em all home, okay? 
   Thus many will come back with no family to help - or, owing to budget restraints, can’t help - with no money or just a small state pension as it was frozen a little bit after a while ago as they lived overseas. Wot will be their first step? Claim full pension and make a beeline to bang on the bennies door of course.
   The phrase swings and roundabouts spring to mind.

And Then Another step…

   Did you see that Stear Karmer may announce his plans to bring digital I.D. A step closer at the imminent labour get together?
   A phew things crept into ma old heed.
  Firstly, I guess hacking, despite recent airport and retail hacks, are becoming a thing of the past as there’ll be an awful lot of identifications there for naughty people to pinch for fraudulent purposes, eh?** Also, I do hope he’s had a meeting with his best buddy Eddy regards where the load of lekky will come from to power wot will be a bloody big bit o’ computer and server kit for data so sensitive? Will he be able to hire programmers, on minimum wage, older than sixteen to put it all together faultlessly? And I thought plastic was a no-no here now so where are the enviro-mentalists jumping up and down in alarm at the idea of making and using who knows how many square miles of plastic card?
   Given all these local ‘problems’ is he thinking of farming the whole thing out to some other country wot still has lekky and is happy with plastic? Somewhere like Chine perhaps?
   All in all, wot could possibly go right, eh?
**Let’s include those that would rule over us in that sentence being able to sneak into our private lives.
Addendumadodad: I see Nigel Mirage has announced that, if elected, he’ll cancel all indefinite leave to remain visas. Well thought through Mirage, I’m guessing that’ll be another phew million votes from folk who's wife or husband is here on indefinite visas you’ve just lost.
