Really good piece, you've swayed me from a 'bad idea definitely' to 'maybe it would help actually'. The governments passport service is now incredibly good, it would make a material change to people lives if they made other services as accessable.
The other major question I have is why is labour coms so bad that the best piece arguing for these id cards is here ? Blowback from the introduction of these cards is already substantial.
Your enthusiasm assumes (a) consistenty benign government and (b) perfect operation of all the systems. Neither is even faintly to be depended upon, as is amply demonstrated just now by Trump's antics and by the repeated penetration or failure of large interlinked systems - the most recent Jaguar Land Rover and a children's nursery operator. So no, I will retain my independence, and I hope that enough other rational people will do so to invalidate the plan. JM
I'm in favour, but I don't like the name much. It'll go down really well in Derry
