And Then I. D.…

   Just a further reflection on the upcoming introduction of digital I.D.
   Seems whenever our seekers of truth in the media are interviewing Stear Karmer or one of his gang and the subject of digi I.D. Comes up, the response is that it’ll make it all but impossible for newcomers with no visa to get a job if they don’t have it.
   Dear Stear, cast your mind back a year; wot happened? Yup, all visas, of any length of permission to stay here, went digital. I know below as my little nest of vipers is from a land far, far, far away...
   Let’s take that a step further back. Upon applying for a visa of any length, the first step was to be photographed, finger prints taken and to be issued with a Biometric I.D. Card. Last year those wot would rule over us decided all visas would go digital and Bio I.D. cards would become redundant and discontinued.
   To get an Evisa, as it’s called, the online process involved entering passport number, visa number, Bio card number, pass certificate number for English for speakers of other languages test, a photo of passport info page, then a scan of passport and a personal photograph. All done online.
   Once completed, you can log in and check your visa status, if you can work and wot bennies, if any, you could claim. You would also see a pass number. A number that, when giver to the boss of the place you’re trying to get a job, allows them one time access to your Evisa to confirm if you’re allowed to work legally or not.
In the shell of a nut, it was/is all there for newly arrived folk and and those wot would need to check a persons status. Yup, you can work. Wot? Sorry, no work permitted. See? It’s all been there for a long time.  New idea will stop the boats? Wot we’ve got aint working very well is it?
   You think dear Keir should be going after employers instead?
   Now? We’re ALL going to need{?} a digital identification. Oh, that’ll stop the boats or do you think something far more spooky’s coming down the line?
