    Interesting how there’s no explanation of WHY digital would be better than analogue, how it would tackle illegal employment or stop cash payments etc. I think they just want to be able to outsource another chunk of the state to a giant foreign conglomerate

      Its always a brand new system with a massive scope as well so that it costs an arm and two legs, and is so over complicated it never gets finished.

      Meanwhile we already have a universal voluntary ID system that half of all adults already own and the department that is responsible for it, does it on a small profit.

      If its just about ID then get the DVLA to start issuing non driving licenses in a different colour and speed up their digital role out.
