Now it's here again, attacking from the NHS flank.
It's backdoor enforcement of universal ID.
This will lead to being chipped like a family pet.

No need for chips when most people carry smartphones
Apps let YOU know where you have been all day by showing your walking or driving on a map Well they let you think it's about for your benefit |

Iphone 10/11/12 will be out soon though so it's something to get people working a month for
Fecking ejits |

By:
No one needs to chip anyone in this age. Smartphones are doing the job and people are paying money for that!
|

By:
Yeah but the phones are free if contract
 The Bill is nothing to do with buying the phone |

how hard can it be to add a photo into the nhs database ? they have my records already. just ask for a photo to be sent? my mail.

By:
I'd got nothing against IDs when Labour proposed to introduce them. Except that we had to pay for them ourselves.
Now this issue of restricting NHS treatment has come up, they would have been very useful. |
|
By:
i forget how much they were proposing to charge?
id say if you have a passport or driving license that should count as valid id. if you have neither then you should have to get id. |
|
By:
People will just sell them and make fakes
More money for criminals ... GREAT IDEA  |
|
By:
Great isn't it.
Twenty first century and, in order to prove identity, so that there is no money laundering or abuse of NHS services we need to select one from list A and one from list B. List A is photographic evidence and includes a passport (well, what is that if not an ID card) or a driving licence (ditto). List B includes mainly utility bills. Yes, paper utility bills when most people pay online with direct debits. |
|
By:
What reasonable person would object to producing personal identification to prove they're entitled to NHS treatment?
|
|
By:
trilby i would as i go private
|
|
By:
the hospitals have access to your file, Detailing all the stuff thats happened in your life medically. They could just add a photo to the file. A passport photo size that could be handed in to your GP with your name on the back.
Problem solved. |

My driving licence is the old paper type and I don't have a valid passport so I would presumably have to pay for one which I otherwise don't need.
More income for the govt. |
|
By:

|
By:
my driving license looks like the dead sea scroll. it's 32 years old.
i don't have a photo id of any sort. Fk it... let me die. |
|
By:

|
|
By:
Can't see anything wrong with universal IDs.
|
|
By:
You're okay with a 32 yo DL but can get fined if yer picture one is more than 10 yo.

This was tried ten years ago and they abandoned it when people rallied.
It didn't happen quite like that. Labour were going through with the plan to introduce ID cards, but they lost the 2010 general election. The Tories who were elected promptly scrapped it. |
|
By:
Are they coming out for sure?
|
|
By:
i remember a lot of people up in arms about it...
i didn't fkin imagine it. |
