    It's still unwanted Government interference, giving kids free fruit at school I can get behind but I don't want to be rewarded or punished for eating a salad or drinking a beer.

    It's Communism

    These mutants championing this pish don’t even understand how utterly reprehensible that this is even being considered by a British government.

    The programmable digital currency will stop you buying too much junk food or booze, your digital ID will know when you’ve been a close contact to an ill health case and what happens when the tech goes wrong like the time when 42 Post Masters all got sent to jail for fraud when, in actual fact, the Post Office system was faulty.

    Tech goes wrong and miscarriages of justice will be the outcome.

    ^ Duncan's imagination when apps made by tech capitalists in Silicon Valley give rewards for eating fruit and veg and doing exercise

    Yeah, Duncan said it earlier in one of the rare moments his two braincells worked together.

    Chuck it on the dog and let it run around the house.

    Nope. Persons who do steps and wear digital **** to tell them how really really well they are doing at it don't tend to be the type of people who want to play XBox.

    XBox playing is a little more sedentary.

    There are other rewards and walking and playing video games aren't mutually-exclusive.

    They had a scheme to pay pregnant women not to smoke by giving them Supermarket vouchers.

    There's a good chance the women may have beaten the system by simply lying

    Anything like that app for school kids, will simply see the points traded for ***s and beer after the wrist band has spent a day on the dog. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    You may well have usurped QuarterMoonII as the most tedious and boring person on the award winning forum.

    I am fit, eat well, only drink at the weekend and yet my govt still punish me for not taking the covid jag despite me costing the health service virtually zilch since I was born some late 20 years ago.

    The social credit system isn’t going to reward you for looking after you, it’s going to punish you for not doing what the government wants you to do.

    It’s absolutely vile and was another conspiracy theory coming true.

    Walking while playing an XBox. <laugh>

    I think you're confusing video games with the rewards based ****e you're talking about. Pompeymeowth (spelling!) to confirm :grin:

    Except, you are not being punished at all.
